"Self Portrait" Graphite And Conte Sketch By Donna Holdsworth

©2012Donna Holdsworth

I am working on a painting, and since it is being uncooperative, I decided to do a sketch of myself to use as a profile pic.  Graphite & Conte crayon.  It seems like the mouth is off just a bit.  I have a small mouth and am used to using my daughter as a model.  Her mouth is bigger than mine & she has mega lips so it seems like somethings missing. That and a few wrinkles I guess! ;)  It's close though!  Oh well, back to my painting I must go!  Visit my BLOG:  Donna Holdsworth Contemporary Art.  Thank you!
