Here is a portrait finished on Sunday over about 4 hours. Didn't take as many in progress photos as I ended up erasing and re-doing a lot of her features, but I took a "far away" shot to give a better idea of how big the drawing looks.

Doesn't look too much like the model, but I'm still alright with the final product. I need to do a few more weeks of these studies, and then I'll go back to doing more life digital studies with my trusty laptop.

If things go alright, by April or so I hope to really get into color studies and push hard. Then maybe over the summer I'll do some outdoors painting. By autumn I should have some strong pieces I can use to build a portfolio. That's the plan at least :P
