pencil on toned paper

kraft paper journal, 8x10

 

Another sketch for Misty Mawn's latest online class: Drawing & Painting Portraits.

This journal is a fave of mine when I want a different look for sketching portraits, it adds a nice skintone base, also freckles as it has little dark specks throughout...

 

I decided to work on finishing this today as my painting wasn't going so well - I find working with brushes so frustrating sometimes.....but we plod on, yes? :>

Done
