She's A Bit Different . . .

Sketching is always exciting. I had now idea how this would come out but I really like her! My hubby bought me a 6x8" sketch book and a set of graphite pencils for christmas. I sketched her last night with my new supplies!

I am trying to stick with the realism especially in the eyes. I don't usually sketch hair this way but I love it. Not sure yet if I will paint her. For now I am enjoying looking at her in black and white.

  1. Hi Cathy,

    She is beautiful. I like how strong your faces are. I usually make mine so thin. Funny how we all have our own styles, even being so new to this.
    Have fun sketching and enjoy your New Year celebration! xo

  4. I like short hair, she's a cutie! We have good hubby's, we both got art supplies for christmas. :) You asked about the blue color on my painting on facebook. Initially it was just going to be an underlay but I really like it. I'm gonna leave it alone for a bit and come back to it later.
    Happy sketching!
