Line art or portrait as a gift?

Try it with some sketches, which technique is better for you. At Lineart, a profile drawing is probably easier than a frontal view. It is significantly reduced and “lives” rather from the free space. In portrait, you do not have the limit with the only continuous line and can also “hang up” details in the area “free”. You can also make the final portrait here with ink in the final color setting if you are used to this medium.
