Character Study

©Kathleen Rietz
Only 3 studies of one character instead of 4...but I always liked how this turned out and wanted to show it.

Nice Kate! I think you really captured the surprised look well, nice big bright eyes!

I absolutely love this and you inspired me to pull out an old character study sketch I had too! I love the way you communicate so much life with such few marks and consistent yet reshaped forms!! excellent.

Wow, thanks so much you two. You are so kind.

Very well done!

The surprised one is my favorite too. Very loose and simple--kind of like a child! What kind of pencil is this? I really like the effect.

Thanks Sarah ~ It's just graphite. I like to give my drawings a sepia tone in Photoshop after I scan them. I get bored with grey tonal.
