Practice Goals
My initial goal in this exercise was to practice placing the four figures on the page. Beginning with a perfectly composed photo like this one made this much easier. That hand, however, was a bugger. I know nothing about drawing hands – and that shows!

Well done! You’ve not only captured her gaunt face, but also her expression of uncertainty and fear for her predicament as a mother.

Thank you, Rosaliene. I would love to try a larger portrait with just her face. Her daughters kept saying in the video that she was a truly beautiful woman. One of her daughters looks so much like her mother – I can imagine what she might have looked like without the toil and fear. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. 🙂
