   I’m going back through previous classes and enjoying them as new challenges. This is my first portrait, and it was difficult. I have new respect for portrait painters!

   I decided to draw from a picture I had instead of doing an unknown. I think drawing someone you actually know is more of a challenge. So I drew along listening to your advice on placement, shadowing etc knowing I had to be careful to keep it light on a child so as not to age her. Also I chose a ‘no teeth’ picture as recommended. I believe I nailed it! I drew this with the live show and was able to ask questions, that helped. Thanks for the insights.

   Here’s my version of the Girl. Just wanted to comment: your portrait should be narrower around the jawline. Even though there is a squareness to her jaw her face is more heart-shaped. I’m really enjoying Drawing Together!

   This girl was deceivingly difficult to capture! Still think it’s not quite right but I tried. Had some blending issues with my paper for some reason.

   I think I’ve reached the point where I just have to let it be A person rather than THE person, as Scott likes to say. I used graphite pencils for this one.

   Hi Scott,
   Loving your classes, don’t know if she looks like the picture but definitely looks like a female.

    Here is my portrait of a girl. Didn’t quite get the slight turn of the face but will keep at it. Thanks Scott for your generosity and your encouragement.

    Thanks so much for these classes, Scott; after not drawing for 40 years, I’m pretty rusty but I’m having a lot of fun getting back to it!

    I followed a few of your drawing classes and I took your perspective class earlier this year.
    Here is the “let’s face it” drawing.
