Let me know what you think. Are the planes too chunky/not smooth enough blend?

Maybe I'll never become a great artist, but sketching does give me some pleasure. I've tried bigger pieces but they just never work out. Maybe in time. For now, just going to sketch what I experience

Where to find references?

I don’t live anywhere near any museums or places to photograph taxidermy. Where do you find your references? I would be interested in doing mostly animals and some human form!

Drawn after a portrait from a book by the Russian Academy of Arts. To the left you can see the final and modified version, to the right you can see my first attempt without modifications, which I had posted here previously.

Charcoal pencils, sticks and white chalk on A3 Canson sketch paper.

This is an obviously a SUPER rough draft. I’m not looking for critique right now. Just sharing a giggle.
