Children's Portrait: Autumn

Autumn (Colored Pencil - 2013)

Just like her brother Braylon, Autumn is another adorable kid with light blonde hair. Well jokes on you, kids! Those locks are turning brown before you know it! Live it up while you can! (I might still hold a little resentment towards my hair for going through this process...)

Paper Used: Strathmore Premium Recycled Drawing Paper (400 Series) cut to 8×10″.

Prismacolor Colored Pencils Used: I used a poo ton of pencils this time. A poo ton.

Time Spent: 46 hours and 34 minutes - For some reason this drawing took to infinity and beyond. I blame the leaves for my psychological degradation caused by the hours and hours of feeling like little progress was being made.  But it is finally finished! Take that evil drawing gods!

Up Next:  Only 2 drawings left before Christmas, with two boxers sharing the spotlight next.

Until next time! Lauren H.
