Graphite Portrait in progress
Untitled
9" x 12"
Graphite on Bristol
I used a reference photo that was taken the day I had had my hair curled. It was a sunny afternoon and I wasn't too sure about this change.
In the portrait, I hoped to show the time of the day by light and dark areas. Also, there is an attempt to capture the conspicuous conscious smile. I have yet to sign and title this. Do you have any suggestion before I take this off of my workboard in a couple of days?

It's just gorgeous! You are extremely talented Bhavana and I love the way you have shown off the shading in the portrait.
Beautiful work Bhavna. I love the way you caught the light and also could get the expression.
Thank you, ladies! You are the best...
You are very talented :-) Beautiful work!
Wow. I love the way the you've sketched the curls! They look so alive! Beautiful. Have you also sketched using real models (objects and people)? I'd love to see them if you hav! I think you'll do a wonderful job there as well!
Hi Hilde,
Thanks for taking time and leaving comments here. I am very glad you liked the latest work.
Gracias!

Hi Vinita,
How have you been? Thank you for your kind comments.
I haven't used live model as yet which I very much like to do in future. I have, however, sketched a few still-lifes some time ago, in pastels that I'd try to share later.
Thanks again,
Bhavna
