The Secret Sentinel by Michael LeKites


I'm well over half way now. I need to finish the background and get into the detail of her dress and hands next. Also some finishing touches with the shading and shadows across her face. Mechanical pencil HB, artists pencils 2B-6B on smooth Bristol.

Great background, great subtle shading.

I like the shadow work, Michael! It makes whole drawing to come alive, even it is not finished yet.

Thank you all very much. I had considered using India ink for my blacks on this but when I went looking for my old pen set it was in pretty bad condition. I've enjoyed this series of pencil drawings quite a bit.

Coming along nicely Michael. Love the sun light coming thru the tree giving to warmth and depth.
