Simply veiled




My third attempt at drawing portraits. My first sketch at the top serves as the 'original copy' that I used on a light-box to draw some more copies. I intend building a series of this same picture using different mediums. Portrait number two is a mixture of pastels, pencil and kokhi pen. The minute I was done with it, I stood back and really couldn't believe that I was responsible for that. I still often look at it in disbelief. Did I? Did I really? The third version is pencil and a pink glitter gel pen. Need to work on the eyes some more. I'm super keen to start painting...

Shading

Just practicing more shading using charcoal. I'm not going to say who this is supposed to look like...because I think it looks nothing like the original hahahahaha.
