I have a car appointment today and wanted something to do while I wait. So I started on the next portrait. This is from another episode of Portrait Artist where I took a screen shot of a pose I liked. This is a difficult one as she's smiling huge. But she has such a great face I wanted to give it a try. I already see some editing I'm going to do. The ends of her hair are, for my taste, too fiddly and I will likely simplify them. Her name is Emma Dabiri and I know nothing about her but she seems pretty amazing. As always, the sketch looks rough perhaps even a bit crude. It's there to tell me where things are supposed to go. I'll refer to the photo a lot while doing the inking that's to come. Here's hoping.

Drawing is one of those things you can do anywhere and costs almost nothing…ipad notwithstanding. So much better to draw than sit in a garage waiting for car stuff!
Indeed! Next time I'll remember my damned glasses!
My reading glasses are all cheap dollarama ones so I have a pair in almost every room and in every back pack so I will have them if I need them at all times. Does this work? Nope.
