Day two (and a half)

Two more sketches for today (though I'm posting late):

Corryn
Ariel

These are pictures of two of my nieces. I prefer to draw people over other things, but it's boring to have to always draw myself, so I asked them if they'd let me draw them. I'm very disapointed with the picture of Corryn, but I want to add it here for honesty's sake. I think the proportions are especially bad. The face does look like hers, though. As for Ariel, the young lady herself complained that it looked more like her sister Elizabeth than her, and she may be right.

You'll note that there are a great many eraser marks on these pictures. It's because when I'm drawing a picture that I know someone will see, I get into "that's not good enough!" mode and start the drawing/erasing cycle. I left those eraser marks unsoftened by computer technology as a lesson in drawing. I spent more time on these pictures than I did for any of the others, and yet I'm much less pleased with them.
