Working on the mac for my design job has the benefit undoing mistakes by going back into history and starting over from that point. Hand crafted art doesn't have this advantage, but there is Photoshop. On the left is the final art. On the right I've corrected for my drawing flaws. You can see that Ina has a beautiful Eastern European, moon-shaped face and very narrow nose. Nailing the structure early on is crucial. An easy fix for distortion, moving forward, is to work with an easel instead of a drawing board on my lap or make certain the paper is parallel to my face. Working on an angle runs the risk of distorting the drawing - usually making it too long if gone unchecked. I may have seen a circle but was really working with an oval.
Considering the bar's tight space, an easel will not fit, so I will need to hold up my drawing more frequently to check for accuracy.
