Album: My pencil sketches and pen & ink drawings

The pencil sketches were done from family photos. When the twins were born I did not have much free time to paint. It was easier to sketch when I had a moment. I used the time to practice my portrait skills.

Lately I've been doing more drawing. I'm working on more realistic shading in pencil. I've also been doing more pen & ink work, trying to shade by stippling & cross hatch.

This is my baby from the previous picture! I asked her to model for a princess picture. I hope to turn this into a painting pattern.
