Portrait Practice 3 and EDM Challenge #65 - Draw Noses.


I drew this portriat for practice. Its prismacolor on brown paper. I found it very hard to get the skin tones right. I need lots more practice on these. I see lots of mistakes but never mind, Theres always the next one! It is of course, Oprah.

I am in awe...I did some quick sketching of oprah last week and found it impossible with just pen. I am loving the sheen on her curls. YOu have given so much volume and life to this portrait.

Your portrait of Oprah is wonderful. I always have trouble with teeth among other things. You did them so well. Oh, and the nose is great too.
