My latest pencil portrait

Dan Saunders · 04-18-2003, 05:16 PM

I would like to share with everyone my latest pencil portrait. I accidently posted this under critiques. I hope it is okay to post it here as well. I strive for a very classical look. My subject is 15-year-old Chelsea. She herself, has a very classical look about her.

I hope you enjoy it. If I need to post a close-up of her face let me know.

Thanks.

Hi Dan.

Welcome to the Forum! And thanks for posting such a lovely drawing. This is a beautiful, graceful pose. I love the linear composition and the way you've concentrated your darks around her face. It's very effective.

Best regards,
Linda

Did you draw this from a photograph or from life?
