NEW PORTRAITS

 I am trying to draw people with more expression. The drawback of having models sit still, is they often look a bit glum, and their natural personality doesn't come through. I watch them when they are talking, and add a little smile or parted lips.

This woman is a hoot, but she sits very still (good), and tends to look very serious in her portrait.

Katy is a smiler 24/7, so no problems there!

Miranda too, has a lovely face in repose. I could draw her every day...
