My great niece ...

Hi All,

I thought I'd share this portrait with you....This is my first ever human portrait....for years I have struggled drawing humans! Until I found an on line tutorial "The five pencil method" I worked through the tutorials and ta daaa! i produced this portrait! I am now no longer scared to draw people!

This is my great niece, Mia Isabella.....I framed it and gave it to her Mum, it hangs in her room now : ) she is now 3 years old and the subject of my recent post here...

Thanks for looking!

    beautiful, especially the way she is grasping the blanket, which is a very quirky but realistic touch. And a great smile!

    Well done on creating a family heirloom.
