Anya Drawing

[Jess]

I've been wanting to get back into drawing for quite some time, and tonight I finally went ahead and bought a sketchpad, some charcoal pencils, and some pastels. Since I haven't drawn anything in over 5 years, I decided to just pick something at random to test my skill level. I chose a photo of Anya from one of my old calendars. I first drew her in pencil, and then in pastels. It's hard for me to get used to using pastels again, since the last time I used them was about 9 years ago. I think for my next drawings I'm going to try out colored pencils to see which version I like using best.

Here's Anya:



Please pardon the photo, I don't have a scanner yet, so not all the details show up.

I like it. the face looks really nice and looks great. I know how hard it can be to use pastels and you really pulled it off.

The facial expression is definitely Anya, yeah im just starting to use pastels and its kinda difficult. I used some for this drawing of a dream I had about the little mermaid, it was kinda fun. I really like her eyes, and her hair andhow the colors have a variety. most attempts I have seen with that end up with a blob of on color, so kudos on the hair colors. I want to see more of your drawings!
