If I keep this up I may start losing friends lol I am under no illusions about my drawing abilities, I certainly don't claim to be good at portraits...but I do quite like doing them...and I don't think they look truly dreadful. ...although lots of room for improvement.
So I started with a quick outline..
then I started to shade the hair..
more work on the hair..
trying to get in the darkest darks I really should learn to switch to a softer pencil but I never do. I stick with a regular HB throughout... lol
all done, or at least as done as it will ever be.. I wonder if anyone will recognize her?

You have captured Gillian so well, hope you are both pleased with your final image. You have done a fantastic job Darcy!
ReplyDeleteYou CAN draw portraits & you are good despite your reservations. I think you are über talented & love to see your work:-) x
I recognised Gillian from the first sketch, even though I have only seen pictures of her, small ones at that on web pages! Pretty impressive!
ReplyDeleteThat's fabulous I love how you see the portrait developing!
ReplyDeleteFull of life darcy.
ReplyDeleteBut that's Gillian, no? Fabulous!
