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.

There you go. I knew this was the McMurry Photo. 😉
Well done.
Portraits are so difficult aren’t they?
The eyes are what’s most challenging for me.
(Will post a few soon)
Keep up the good work.

Good for you!!! we need to challenge ourselves and great stuff happens. I am always searching for a new direction, myself. My favorite fellow blogger, portrait man is Jon Amdall. https://jonamdall.com/ His handling of portraits is well described/laid out.
