My Angels

This is the first picture I've drawn of my little ones. Pretty nervous about it, I wanted to get them right and my little boy is pretty spot on in term of likeness and my little girl is too, but the photograph I used was a poor choice in hindsight. Her lovely dark brown eyes are completely hidden and the angle of her mouth was sooooo hard to get right .... so I didnt Anyway, I'm fairly pleased with it, but must try harder!!!

This was drawn on Bristol Board using every shade of graphite know to man I think. Eraser (kneaded, nylon, pencil), tissue, tortillions and chamois for blending.

I'd love any feedback you have on how to make my drawings better and particularly this one!

Also, if anyone can tell me how to put bits of drawings into scraps I'd really appreciate it

Thank you
