portrait sketch #1
pencil sketch A4
..wanted to share my progress with portrait practice ...a free-hand pencil sketch of my grandmother working from an old black and white photo ...I'm struggling but at the same time I'm enjoying just taking time to focus on portraits and sketch ...consuming lots of 8B pencils.

Very beautiful, Jane!
Great portrait Jane ! A lot of expression...it isn't easy but it is fun when all of a sudden grandmother or whoever you are sketching is staring at you. I am sketching one of my sisters for the moment, and it makes me chuckle to 'create ' her , there is something intimate about portraits.
Really like this and how you have kept the angle of the pencil lines to bring out the face.
Hi,Jane,
Just take it easy. The eyes are very impressive, which tell viewers stories. Have fun! Hope your pencils will dance on papers.
Kind regards,Sadami
So interesting, Jane!She has already an expression. It's a challenge, isn't it?
What a great sketch. Excellent piece. xx
beautiful paintings I have missed on your blog !
this portrait is great ! nice work Jane !
Ooh they are so challenging aren't they, those portraits? But it's also so absorbing! It's also surprising how even the slightest miss-placed highlight or shadow can mean the difference between a likeness or not! This looks great and I can't wait to see more :0)
This is really great. You have such an effortless looking style going on here that gives it such a free and easy appeal.
Hi Jane, what a beautiful portrait of your grandmother! Very nice shadows and lights! Great job!
La práctica consigue la perfección. Está muy bien el dibujo!
Hi Jane, nice to see your delicate sketch of your grandmother here on your blog.
Freehand portraits are beyond me so I look at this in awe. Can't wait to see it finished. Wonderful.
Te animo a que sigas practicando, pues lo haces fenomenal. Un saludo
i love your pencil work, beautifully done jane!
I like the strong values and large strokes, without fussing over every detail in the face. Nicely done!
Ciao Jane, wonderful portrait! I like a lot the intensity of the eyes and the face that I see very sweet.
