Pencil drawing of my daughter, (that is now 17) as a cowgirl. 11" x14" useing HB, 4HB ,#2 pencils and kneaded eraser with a blending stump, on strathmore illustration board. Aprox. 61/2 hrs spent on this. My first serious portrait of a human face.
Beautiful drawing........very well done! Only 61/2 hours ?wow!!
Artist Reply: Thanks for commenting, it is most encourageing. It isn't a large peice not a lot of surface area to cover, and my pencil works quickly for me though not usually this quick.
