It seems I have a short attention span. Writing continuously for the past three days on my novel has already taken its toll. But in the spirit of remaining creative and yet giving the writing a rest, I picked up the pencils to sketch. I’m still struggling with symmetry and I don’t have the angles quite right, but it’s an improvement I think… Voila:
And here’s the photo I copied:

Wow! Truly talented, you are. 😊

I really need to! I told Robert he should draw like you did, because he seemed to not be having a good day. Maybe everyone will draw and be happy and relaxed. 🙂

Quite a lovely job on this Meg. As an artist I feel that faces are the most difficult to paint/sketch, catching the nuance, it’s very difficult. Bravo on a fine capture.

Pretty good. You have her look down. I think if you start with an oval for the head first and then the neck, then work from there, that might help with the face shape being a bit softer. Pinterest is great for pins on helping to draw faces and features. Great job.
