I’ve not had much time to work on this other than the hour I managed to get in while everyone else was napping this afternoon:

In progress colored pencil drawing of Rose Welty.

    It’s amazing how everytime you start on a portrait, the eyes immediately look alive!! Even when they are covered with glasses. I think this liveliness in the eyes is the strongest point in most of your drawings..

    Would you mind posting the reference photo as well, that would make it more interesting for me to follow your progress…
    Btw, my girlfriend bought me a 50 colored pencil set, can’t wait to start!!!

    Thanks Philippe! Sure, the reference photo can be seen here.

    How awesome of your girlfriend to get you a set of pencils! Can’t wait to see what you do with them!

    You have a point.. I decided to also start a blog.. You will be able to find it at Http://Philippesysmans.blogspot.com
    I won’t show the progress (I usually finish portraits in one session of about 2 hours, now with color pencils this may change, but still) but it would be great if you could help me out with tips once in a while
