Portrait of a Niece

Great-Niece
I finally got around to reading some of the advise you give on this site. What a difference it made for me!!
I was reading about turning a color picture into a black and white picture to be able to see the shading better.
I also watched a video online about drawing faces which really helped me a lot with the hair.
This is a drawing of one of my nieces. The first one I did of her a few months ago: her face looked flat, now with the shading-WOW. I couldn't believe the difference something so simple could make.
Thank-you so much for such a wonderful, helpful site.
***Note from Kerry: Hi Patty, I'm so excited that you are learning things as you go along. You deserve all the credit - I can see how much you are improving even though I thought you were pretty good to start with.
Your drawing is great! I would think your niece will love this! Good job.
