When I was a kid I skipped most art classes to focus more on competing against my peers (e.g. math).
Now, no longer feeling such needs, I shift the focus to compete against myself. To beat the past version of me, my best chance is to develop soft powers, such as artistic and personal skills. I could pick these up so far even lying dormant inside me for all these years.
Spatial-temporal trade-off for live portrait: the longer the session, the more precise and detailed the drawing can be, but the subject will also wear a more neutral expression.
Solution: practice drawing from memory.
More (layer-based) experiments are planned to come.

The face can be shortened a bit to better depict his intelligence.
SIGGRAPH deadline: you are completely dead!
CHI/UIST deadline: you are really dead!
CVPR deadline: you are half dead and can continue to submit supplementary materials like a zombie.
I read the news on a morning train and decided to draw this interesting face.
I saw this advertisement on The Economist of a little girl peeking out of a train window. The entire picture has a brownish tone. I slightly elongated the face, accidentally turning the kid into an adolescent.
Accidental cartoon effects; drawing from a photo in the San Francisco magazine.
Sculptures are static, often already abstracted or stylized to facilitate drawing, and non-human subjects allow more deviations in proportions.
Human subjects, in contrast, are dynamic, complex, and require precise proportions for recognition.
I refined the eyes, hair, and neck regions of a portrait sketched by my father of my grandfather, making him look slightly younger as I remembered him during my childhood.
