Untitled study by Michael LeKites


Continuing on with my study. I've already discovered some mistakes that I have been making with my pencil work. Too late to apply these things to this drawing but will hopefully benefit future works. I've tested a few things on side scrap paper and found some better techniques for my hair and skin. Again, too late for this work.
Quite a bit of work yet to do but I'm well over half way.
12x17, graphite, various artist pencils, acrylic white and pastel on smooth Bristol.

She just reminds me of peaches and cream. I think this is fabulous, Michael.

Finished or not, Micheal, this is a beautiful, enchanting portrait--I actually love the unfinished straw hat.
