I've been doing some graphite and some charcoal drawing. I love doing faces. Especially children and well seasoned faces. I have tried my hand at several methods I found on the internet and in books and am enjoying it a lot. I just finished this drawing of my great-niece , Lucy.I took the reference from the family Christmas card of all three girls. I toned the whole background with graphite then drew her face and picked out highlights with an eraser.This is the first time I have tried this method an kinda like the way it turned out.

O so soft...lovely job on the eyes especially! You've captured the 'child size' proportions much better than I can. My children always end up looking older....great job!
