Stretching To Sketch Challenge Week 6!!

Here is my sketch of Kelly for the sketching challenge she has been hosting over at her blog Kelly Berkey Designs. If you haven't joined us already please do! Every Thursday she will post a photo of herself for everyone to sketch, paint, or whatever. I am really having a good time and learning so much!

If you remember from my sketch last week I chickened out on doing the face profile. This week when I saw the picture I cringed because I wasn't sure if I would be able to do the face. And I really wanted to try this time! Although it doesn't look like Kelly I am pleased at how the face profile came out. Boy did I have trouble with the nose at that angle. I must have done it over 5 times and gave up! And then of course there are the hands. I have kept it no secret that I have had alot of trouble with hands since the beginning of this challenge. I knew I wanted to have her holding a heart and hope it is a pleasant distraction!

Check Kelly's blog later when she will be posting all the sketches for this week. I am excited to see everyone's work!

  4. Hi Cathy,
    Lovely sketch! I really like pencil sketches. And like you said in one of your posts, mastering the human body is challenging. But it's so worth it! Keep on sketching!

  10. Cathy, she's great. I think your improving for sure..we all are. The profile turn out great. I had trouble with the nose, too. Couldn't really see it clearly. Don't shy away from the hands. You got to tackle it. (Although I avoided it totally, too, this week!) :)
