Full of enthusiasm after this mornings session at Kuhu’s, I got back home and tried another portrait, from Life, using Sudha crayons ( Indian equivalent for Conte Crayons ). Its overworked but if i dont do some of these how will I learn? I’m thinking of making the background darker hoping that it will help the face come up a bit.
Aaliya – 12″ X 18″ approx – sudha crayons on cream coloured light weight paper
The one below is the one I liked most in this mornings session. Made with different kinds of charcoal sticks with brown drawing ink. Both have been made on a slightly creamish light weight paper.

Every time you post a new one, I say “the best one yet!” – but it does not stop does it. Glad for that!
Over-worked ? No, shows strength of character.
Umm….dont think background should be darkened. Leave it as it is,….or even make the shading lighter.
Anil: Thank you very much.
Kalyan: Thank you. If i do fiddle with it, I shall try making the background lighter.
This is my first time to you blog and your drawings are amazing! Thanks for sharing!
I really like this, it has a looseness about it and vibrancy,lovely.
That portrait of the man is fabulous – so loose, and full of character and life. Simply gorgeous!
Thank you very much. There’s a summer break on right now so no more Life Drawing for a while.
The portrait with brown ink is delightful. The line is wild and varied and it perfectly captures the subject.
