Kid Series - Shading evolution

My typical drawings are of female portraits. I will share more of these of the next couple weeks. But I have been asked on occasion to draw children. These are from different times and my shading style has changed from using the pencil tip to using graphite with a different painters brushes. This dry brush technique is extrememly time consuming but in the last drawing you can see how realistic the shading can get. The years of the drawings are 05, 09 ,10.

My busy schedule only gives me a few time a year where I can focus on drawing. So my progress is consistent but slow.

Another Bernini study

In this study i'm particularly interested just how it looks the surface and brush strokes.

Avril Lavigne - in Pencil

I have just started down my digital art path. Although Ive used photoshop for years I never used it to draw the same kind of things I draw with pencils. Eventually I will post my digital art but to start here is a drawing I did of Avril Lavigne. I decided to draw her because I liked the shape of her lips. Hope you enjoy. - H

Anatomy site

While going around the internet, I found this site. Certainly worth a look if your into anatomy studies.

Pose Maniacs

And also certainly worth a look at is the 30 second drawing. It gives your 30 seconds to quickly sketch, good practice.
