Portrait of Grace

I've been inspired to do more art lately, so I decided to do a portrait. I had some issues including trying to use some oil colors from ten years ago. Now I have a pink hand.

I'm hoping to continue to practice drawing since some proportions and placements are way off.

I found some water colors which helped. Any critiques?

I like it Anela! It just looks like a stylized sketch of me...maybe not exactly me but close enough for me to recognize :)

A great technique I learned from Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain (a great book) is to sketch out the negative spaces, rather than the features. I find it helps overcome the urge to put things where your mind thinks they "should" go (especially hard when drawing people you know well!).

Also-- do me, do me!

Negative space you is on deck, sis. I definitely need to practice where things go.
