Brave girl, it’s a very good result Carole especially as it was done quickly. I’m hopeless at portraits.

Many thanks Fiona, John and Margaret for your kind comments. Not one of my best attempts but I used this experience as a learning curve and it’s good to sketch at speed, forcing us to acutely observe more.

This is so good, to do a portrait that fast is really scarry!

I admire anyone who can draw quickly and do a good job. I can’t.

Pencil sketch. This was done as a very quick sketch so lacks a lot of accuracy and finesse. My first attempt at this kind of thing. Did enjoy doing it as it’s completely out of my comfort zone
