Pencil drawing of a smiling girl
24 March 2025

I decided to use more of my Vellum paper to make a portrait. Having just recently done a sad boy, I decided to search the database I had subscribed to for a smiling young girl and chanced upon one that appealed to me.

Having dedicated too much time to the eyes in my last drawing and not enough on the rest of the face, I decided I would only do an outline of the eyes and complete them after doing the rest of the drawing. I think that it makes for a more harmonious overall face but I will let you be the judges of that.

And as always, mixing the visual, sometimes the spoken but always an audio of the moment, I give you a song which I liked associated to the drawing.

I decided to add hair on the left side as there was too little and it was not symmetrical
