I have never really enjoyed pencil drawing, but I have to say I did enjoy this lesson and practice, even if I couldn't find my tiny eraser pen to do the fine highlights! Who knew that I would actually look forward to doing more drawings!
Thank you for visiting, and WELCOME, to THE MOXIE RABBIT, a place to share my creative adventures in art, journaling, writing, weaving, doll making, and whatever else strikes my fancy to learn and share, all perfectly imperfect. The good, the bad, and the downright ugly! Enjoy your visit! :)

Class 7 PYH&S 2018-Journey into Graphite
Graphite self portrait inspired by Natalie Mecham's class in Paint Your Heart and Soul 2018 (see link on sidebar). I used an 8" x10" photo printed off with graphite rubbed on the back to transfer to mixed media paper in my journal. Natalee used hot press watercolor paper, which would work much better. I will use that next time! The graphite pencils, tortillions, and erasers would work better on smooth hot press paper, easier to work with and smoother portrait.
