My daughter. When I was working on this drawing I had this great moment. I moved my focus from the tiny details I was working on to the whole picture and I had to smile because I'd captured my little girl. It wasn't just any little girl - it was Annalise - that's her eyes I just drew. I love the ringlets near her face.
This picture is another example of how I can be a bit scared at times of adding darkness to my drawings. I think for this one I used a 6B for her mouth, freaked out at how dark it looked, and didn't go that dark again in the drawing - to its detriment. The hair in this photo lends itself to such striking dark shades, and even within the jumper, but I didn't have the guts.
I drew this about a year ago, so I think I've gotten a bit braver in my shading since then.
