Sketch of the day no 1227 in my sketchbook is of portrait of a girl #2
I’m determined to master the art of portrait however long it takes. Getting the proportions right is quite a challenge because it really involves concentration and looking carefully at the subject. I’m starting with photos I’ve collected from the Internet and using that as a starting point. This drawing is based on the photo by Steve McCurry.

Thank you so much. It is indeed such a skill to make them look right. I’m now in much awe of portrait artists.

Instantly recognizeable. This is a great early effort, and your skills improved so rapidly, as I’ve just noticed from looking at your posts. I think it’s very hard to get portraits to look like the subject, and you got it.
