A little over two years ago, if someone had told me that I could draw portraits, I would have laughed. I'd never drawn a thing in my life, let alone tried to draw a face. But, here I am, doing just that! A simple pencil and a piece of Bristol paper can fascinate me for hours.
In the short amount of time that I've been been drawing, one of the things that I have come to love is drawing babies! This baby's name is Sarah, and she lives in Brazil. There is a special joy that comes with a baby's smile, and Sarah seems to exude that joy!
The portraits that I draw are done using photographs as a reference. There aren't any sittings, and most of the work is done right in the quiet of my own room. . . . But when I'm drawing, there comes a point in the portrait when it seems as if I can hear the person I'm drawing. Sarah laughed! And it's no surprise with that big smile on her face!
I'll be posting more portraits in the days ahead, but if you'd like to see more of them now, you can click on the slideshow to the right, and it will open an album that you can view.
