Season of hearts


This is a very special drawing to me.
The model is my cute little niece as you might recognize from my Waiting for daddy drawing.
I wanted to make something special and at the same time refresh my portrait skills. I've always been intrigued by drawing family members, as I always feel the pressure is bigger to make it look just right.

I feel this is my best portrait in a long time, along with Waiting for daddy and it makes me happy to improve in this area, especially since I've always found it hard to draw children.

I like the idea that Christmas is the season of hearts ♥
Can't believe Christmas is actually so close already..

Made with soft charcoal.
(40x30cm | 16x12")

It's a terrific portrait! I like the ''Waiting for Daddy'' more, because of the composition, but this one is just perfect!
