2012 Drawing #2

I have to say that I'm super happy with how this came out! Although there is always room for improvement, I'm happy with my progression. I find the more I practice, the more confident I am in my drawing. I'm not however very happy with how her cheek shadow came out, it turned out a bit harsher than I intended-oh well! Any other observations?

Practice Makes Perfect! Art By Natasha

I created this portrait pencil sketch today, I must say I'm quite pleased with the end results! It took several days to finish (like 3). Usually it only takes me a day or so to finish a portrait, however I'm learning to slow down and get it perfectly bleneded. I tend to to want to rush through things and get it finished. So...slooowww down! : ) I also received two pencil sets for my Christmas presents, I've been using one set frequently. The other is a graphite set which I'm excited to start experimenting with.

Eyes Of Mystery

I'm fairly pleased with the results of this drawing, however I'm not pleased with her eye brows-practice makes perfect, right?

Portrait Art-Lilly

So I decided I should start naming my portraits, please introduce yourself to: Lilly!

Since one of my readers pointed out that my facial feautures (mainly the nose) weren't coming out correctly, I've been working on it. I have a hard time not putting lines. I want shadow, not lines! So it's not perfect, but I'm striving to raise my art abilities. I love how her skin tone came out! I picked up some Bristol paper, Vellum. And it was amazing! It blends oh-so much better! So, thoughts on this drawing? Improvements I could make on my next one?
