kelly felicia portrait project – final

Here are the final two pieces of the portraiture puzzle I set out to resolve.

First was a value study. This was not an end in itself, but a means of informing the final version of the portrait.

Lastly, full circle with pencil, not crayon. This is the best likeness and mood-capture of my friend that I am capable of doing right now.

I did my best, but (of course!) I am still dissatisfied. I will show my friend tomorrow. I hope she will like what I have done.
