This commission was done for a friend over the Christmas holidays. Even though i dont draw many portraits of people,i always enjoy them. This drawing measures 11″x14″ and was done on bristol smooth paper. I made this drawing as a mirror image of Leyla. Its as if she is looking in a mirror. Leyla is a beautiful woman and putting those subtle details that give her that glow was the challenging part.
