I love your little book of portraits. I saw it originally on one of your zoom calls and it's fun to take a closer look. I do have some dread around drawing faces. I'm usually most successful at getting a likeness when I'm not really trying to at all! But it can be hard to "not try" on purpose.
Hi Samantha, I found you over on Charlene Storey’s stack in the introduce yourself comments. I love what you're doing here and I LOVE the mini notebook idea. Cheers!
I just love the various moods you have in your portraits here! I did a 50 days of pencil sketching project a few years ago and about halfway in I started trying portraits... they were SO tricky at first but -- my goodness -- does repetition help develop your hand/eye!! By the end I was having so much fun (but I also was taking too much time with them so I stopped when my business got too busy, and am just now coming back to any kind of sketching / art practice). Thank you, as always, for the inspiration!
Your figures are excellent you should give yourself a lit of credit but I love your humbleness. It is really hard to draw figures, I'm a beginner drawer and its difficult especially hands. Thanks for sharing. 💙
Hi, love this. Don't regret... not worth that feeling when you clearly had the appreciation and respect, and you had another creative outlet. I think its wonderful that you can think of your mother and her talent now, knowing she would be so proud. Take it one step at a time.

yes, the not trying, but still trying... its a fine balance.

That’s the great thing about an art practice. It’s always there for you when you’re ready.
Amen!
I heart your Skillshare classes!
I am so glad you do!
