Einstein - Work In Progress

I started this one last night, and it's really good fun to draw. I work on an A3 sketching pad with the photo attached to the page. I draw lines on the photo showing the angles and measurements of the eyes,nose and ears and then draw corresponding lines on the paper that I use as guides to draw the approximate features. When I'm happy the features are about right, I rub out the lines and continue with the finer detail. I still make mistakes though (loads), so I work the pencil lightly to make it easier to correct.
