I'm working on increasing my skill in drawing figures, hands, and clothing. I'm not completely happy with the face on this one, but I like the figure and the dress. This is my 13-year-old daughter in the rehearsal for her dance recital last weekend.
Edit (6/14): I decided to join the Summer of Color challenge because the colors in this picture fit the week one theme, which is "rainbow sherbet," even though I drew it and posted it the day before the challenge started.


A very loevely painting! :)
ReplyDeleteI think hands are difficult to draw, I have tried a littele, but I'm not satisfied..
Hands are hard to get right and drawing from life is even harder! Great job Cheryl
ReplyDeleteI think this looks lovely. And drawing it before the challenge was even announced just shows you are psychic. lol
