A Portrait Artist I Am Not!


What makes a person look like themselves?  I am discovering that it is SUCH a difficult nuance to capture!  This is supposed to be the daughter of a friend, and although it's a lovely drawing with some similarities to the real deal....it's not HER.  It's just a cute little girl.

So hats off to those who manage to nail a likeness!  I am in awe of you!

  1. I just read a book called "William" by Irene Hunt and one of the main characters is a teenage girl who loves to capture people's personalities in portraits she paints of them. If she was a real person she may have some tips for you!
