ATC: Portrait for Katilady

Here’s a sketch I did for my pal Kati. It’s been a while since I’ve done a graphite piece.

    This is really good Mellanie. I find open mouths tricky with the teeth thing so I just tend to draw closed lips. Lazy of me I know.

      It was definitely a challenge. I was tempted to just not even bother with the teeth and just draw the mouth closed, but she has such a charming smile. I had to give it a try. Fortunately it worked out, but it took ages!

      Hey, it’s good to see you again! Maybe next year we can trade some drawings. I can draw you and you can draw me something that you like.

    You’ve really captured a cheeky and mischievous expression. Lovely lovely work.
