One thing that I love about the photo I looked at to draw this

lovely eyes.

James

photography credits go to James' mom, Erin Southwell (http://www.rareandbeautifultreasures.com/)

I was looking around for a picture to draw, and thought
of Mrs. Southwell's blog, which has many beautiful photos on it.
I found this adorable picture of her son, James, crouched in his overalls
and smeared with dirt, but looking like an angel.

I used HB, 2B,4B,7B, 8B pencils, a tortillion, cloth, and eraser stick.

Little Dreamer


The photo I looked at to draw this picture definitely caught my eye.
I absolutely love the message this picture gives; how this little ballerina
is holding pointe shoes (probably her mother's or sister's) and dreaming.

I used 2B, 4B,7B,8B, pencils, a tortillion, cloth, and eraser stick.

A Lovely Daughter

 
This is a commission I did earlier this month of a very beautiful young woman.
I used HB, 2B,4B,7B, 8B pencils and a tortillion.
The hardest part for me to draw was the hair, and the leaves were the
most time intensive.

Bathing Beauty

This is a pencil sketch I mainly did for fun, because of the extremely high contrast.

a self-made stencil and erased.

Woodland Maid

 


Pencil Sketch with HB, 4B, 6B pencils and a tortillion, eraser and stencil

leaves in her hair.

Indian Boy

IMG_5436The main reason I chose this picture to draw was because it was a challenge, due to the water
running over his face. It was a good learning experience, that’s for sure. I used HB, 2B, 6B, 7B,
and 8B pencils with a tortillion and, of course, eraser.
The hardest part was drawing his eyes, the easiest was his ear.

Ariel

IMG_5431

This drawing was very interesting and fun for me, since I had to use my imagination for the most part.
I drew the outline of her face, arms, hands and torso looking at a picture off of the internet.
These are the pencils I used: HB, 2B, 6B, 7B, and tortillions for blending.
