Hi, i finally finished this Liv portrait, it took longer due to my wrist (which is feeling much better). I drew this one for a few reasons, I liked the pose and felt I could add more depth to her with pencils. I also drew this one because it was easier to do with the sprain. I think it came out good, on paper it has a nice smooth look which is perfect for a young thing like her. I have a few areas to still tweak but for now I’m done and can move on to my 3rd car.

Stunning! It captures her somewhat fey beauty in a striking way. The subtleties of the shading draw the eyes to many different places in the drawing without ever losing focus on Liv herself. Makes me wish I could draw as well as write. (I can't, And I'm proud of my wordsmithing skills.)
