facial features

About
I chose to do one set on blind contours of my friends, and one on pencil hatching drawings on facial features. I mainly prefer drawing people, so that is why both of my subject matters are human related. I never draw my friends because I’m afraid of offending them, but, with a blind-contour I can justify it by saying that I had no idea what I was drawing, only what I was seeing. For the other one I’m going to use facial features of the people I have on my phone, and probably of myself. I’m also going to use pencil and hatching and cross-hatching, since I hate doing it, but need to practice it and work on it.
