Vintage Photo Challenge 2 / Kansas Pencil Portrait Artist

Rough drawing on sketch paper

DSC01019DSC01014

Here is my rough draft of the vintage photo that I am fixing for a client. I started with drawing from a few reference photos on sketch paper. I did this to see if I could reconstruct the nose of this young girl and get all proportions right. The young girl is looking up slightly so her cheeks are going to be lower. Her chin will be narrower and closer to lower lips. Eyes will be slightly looking up with shadows under eyes, nose and chin.

Tomorrow I am going to work on the babies feet. The photo I have is not clear with the feet blurred. What I could see, is what I drew above. Just not sure yet on where the toes land. I think after I get the girls face and the babies feet down, I will be ready to start on smooth heavy weight paper. The client is wanting a 5” x 7” portrait, so it should not take to long once I get going.

    Fantastic. You are obviously on the right track and it's so nice to see this young woman with the nose she deserves.
