Well, this is another first for me. I have never tried to do a portrait of a child of color...and I found it very hard to try to do her skintones without it looking 'muddy'. I will be practicing more in the future! :-) ACEO Colored pencil on Rising Stonehenge paper. ACEO's for sale on ArtCardsWanted.com
