Sophisticated Graphite Pencil Portraits, for Kids and Adults!
Many believe kids can’t draw as well as adults, but with the right guidance, they can! Children like Ellie, age 11, can create impressive portraits with time and practice. Ellie’s portrait took over five hours to complete, showing how patience and focus help kids develop their skills.
Drawing Tips for Kids:
Spend More Time Drawing – Encourage kids to take their time and observe details. Use a timer to gradually increase drawing time for better results.
Focus on the Face Shape and Features – Pay attention to the spaces between facial features. Shading areas like the nose, cheeks, and forehead adds realism to the portrait.
With practice and persistence, kids can improve their drawing skills and create amazing portraits!
In Memory of Sue
In the studio, trust and vulnerability help students grow and connect. Sue, a former student who recently lost her battle with cancer, embodied quiet strength and grace. Her delicate nature drawings showcased her refined touch and elegant artistry.
I am honored to have shared her journey and witnessed her courage. Rest in peace, Sue—you will be missed.
