This was the final challenge – the 30th Challenge for 30 Challenges in January! The final prompt was to create an asymmetrical portrait. This suggestion was designed to push a portrait drawing – something that can frequently cause us to tense up trying to get things perfect – into something more bold, individual, compositionally dynamic, and artistically expressive. These portraits exemplify those goals, with a wide array of personality in both the faces and the marks that render them.
