so I thought I'd show you my . I'm drawing my friend Marcy her face is so cute and full of character and is always a challenge to me. One of those faces where you think it will be easy but it's not.  She's got big wide set eyes, a broad smile, a little nose, a little chin, big cheeks, a gap between her front teeth and loads of goofy facial expressions. 

First Step. SKetch. 

UPDATE 1. Linework. I think the wrist bone is faceing the wrong way, and I always have such difficulty with hands. I wanted them to be little and dainty but I can live with these. Also I probably should have given her more cheekbone definition instead of squishy cheeks, but I think she still is coming out pretty cute. 

UPDATE 2: 11PM

Added Color. 

Im new to the sketchbook pro program. Just trying out the different brushes and seeing what works for me. 

Im not a great painter.,, everytime i try its so washy. I think I do better when I try and do simpler more designy color, but I keep trying to build up realistic values and tones. The coloring process for me is usually a battle of style and ends up somewhere in between.
