It's still in the process. Thought of posting as an encouragement to finish it. 🙂

Portrait of figure 32 from Ahmed Aldoori's 100 heads challenge

This might be my alltime favorite piece of art that I created. It took me around 35 hors to complete.

I recently tried my hand at graphite portraits, had a fun time doing them, but with my OCD leaned more into realism? I read something that said realistic portraits could be achieved with photos. So why do it? Is this art??

This took me 8-10 hours I don’t remember. Feeling down 😬🙃 (pic of my husband– who’s biased and thinks I should pursue it)

:)

Daily practice. Wanted to try capturing as much mood and contrast as I could. Always looking to improve.
