Practicing Portraits

My weak point in drawing has always been people ... faces in particular. I've had a lot of trouble with proportions, shading, and mostly just people looking like cartoon characters rather than actual people.

However, I've been practicing ... Pictures from magazines, and especially pictures of babies while I was pregnant. More recently, I've been drawing Cassidy and friends' children.

Here's a look at some of the drawings I'm happy with (along with the photos I worked from)...






I've also done a few pet portraits, including one for a woman who used to work at LSU with me, and a few random drawings of Sake.
