Drawing Challenge#6 - My Daughters Beauty - Hosted by @helene

[deadgrlsuppastar]

This is my submission for the Drawing Challenge by @helene and judged by @htliao

Their theme for this challenge is to draw a portrait of a child with pencil only. I used my youngest daughter Marilyn for the inspiration behind this drawing.

I am sorry the photos are a bit large I cannot seem to figure out the mark down code to make them smaller.

Step 1

I looked thru some photos of her and did a very rough sketch outline. I like to start of light with the pencil and just make a basic template.

Step 2

I then start darkening the lines on where I think I may want them to be.

Step 3

*Next I continue to darken in lines and adding detail. *

Step 4

I continue to darken more line and add more details. I also start fixing mis-proportioned shapes.

Step 5

More Detailing and shaping going into place. Adding shading and using my finger to blend the graphite.

Step 6

I fixed more of the nose and lips and some of the hair.

Step 7

I am almost done.

Step 8

Added my signature! I sign every DRU with the R backwards. It was a nickname given to me in high school and it has stuck with all of my artwork. That was 18 years ago

Here are the photos I used for my inspiration!
