Nine years ago I did a portrait of my daughter. I thought it time to give it another shot. I think I may have tried too hard. I am famous for overworking things...c'est la vie.

The first drawing, 1999- My Daughter

My Girl Progression

Model: Bellababy97
Photo: Me

(I shot it, but he'd already set everything up from his photoshoot, Princess for a Day)

Tried another grade pencil with this one too.
Hb, b, b2 mechanical pencils, stubby, kleenex, qtips, kneaded eraser
Canson 90lb paper
Original drawing size: 8x11.5in

Trey!! I'm so happy to see you stop in!

Let me tell you, if I had, it wouldn't have been like this piece! I've improved since those days, I like to think.

*huge hugs*
Sadly I think I had plans to draw a trazillion things from Achaea, but only drew a fraction. I'm not the Artist who draws daily, but when the urge takes me, so my works are not so plentiful.

I miss ya!

Those eyes are captivating indeed, yet the whole portrait makes everything "more real" than the original photo. (Thanks for scrap-posting the work-in-progress shots.) This is what 2D adeptness and the mastery of the pencil can do. *fave'd*

Thank you Tiz..watching is boring..just ask my boyfriend. I think I bore him to tears, sitting there so silently...just the sound of the pencil on paper and my pestering with "What do you think?" every few hours. heh.

Glad to have you keepin an eye on me!

now to me, that is SO FUN... even the sound of the pencil on the paper would intrigue me, but then maybe I'm weird that way. I love it all. I have thought about you; wondering how you've been doing. Feel free to email me, ok? I have a yahoo account ... sharitw
