Here’s an update on Ethan’s portrait showing the progress made since yesterday. More hair put in, some shading around the eye socket, and a start on the nose.

I apologize for the lack in updates on Ethan’s portrait in Feb. I’ve finally hunkered down to start working on it again. I must finish it in the next few days, so some caffeine will definitely be consumed… Get ready for a flood of update posts!

Anyway, here’s the latest progress. Mostly just more hair rough-in. I’m not dreading the hair as much as I usually do. Probably due to the fact that I didn’t leave it till the bitter end with a deadline looming. A little more hair work, and then it’s on to those chubby cheeks.

I finally got a chance to work on this drawing again. Here’s tonight’s progress. Ethan 1 year portrait step 4. Tonight I spent most of my time working on the eyeball and a little more shading on the edge of the forehead where it meets the hair. I also roughed in a little bit of the hair, but will continue to put that off till another time. Eyeballs are much more fun to draw than hair.

Step 3 update. More plaid, and some cheek shading.

Step 2 update… Here comes the plaid.

I am finally embarking on another Nephew Portrait. This very belated birthday present will be presented here in a Work in Progress (WIP) step-by-step format. I will try to post an update each night as I progress, showing the latest graphite that’s been put down. Subscribe to the RSS feed to be automatically informed of each update.
