This 13 x 10" drawing began life as a pose taken by the little girl, but then I realized the futility of having a youngster try and hold a pose for a long time, so I took a picture of her and mostly drew from that. Drawing from life has its limits when dealing with children. Actually, I don't think I could hold a pose for any length of time. I cringe when the model doesn't show and we have to take turns posing. Just like waiting to give a book report in middle school, I always hope the session will end before I must take my turn. This is on wonderful Stonehenge white paper and instead of using charcoal, as I usually do, it's done with a graphite pencil. Pencil just has a sort of softness that I like for children. Thanks so much for stopping by!
