Portraits

I started to draw portraits without much learning about human body at the time. I worked by observation and just enjoyed the process of the drawing. I love different stages of shading and how it brings drawing to life. Something so amazing….

This was my first ever portrait of a friend.

Of course it doesn't do justice to his handsome Sicilian looks,

but it did help me to overcome my fear of drawing people.
