Here is the pencil part of pencil and painting. When copying a painting or photo, I draw these nice pencil portraits, and then lose all the detail covering them with paint. I'm beginning to think I should just use a tracing or projection. The challenges with this painting are first the fine skin tone with very subtle shading, next not losing the delicacy of the eyes, nose and mouth, and last acceptable hair. Using pastel it would be easier to keep the detail, and use subtle shading with the skin, however color is limited to the pastels on hand. I posted this to preserve the drawing.
