On been on my Drawing journey for 25 days. Used to draw on and off when you younger but never got good. I started my own sketch a day challenge for 30 days to get myself back into draw… Here’s a portrait for one of the days.

Who is it?

This is really nice. I love your work on the mouth. I find mouths challenging.  
I’m glad you’ve come back to drawing. Great job!

Thank you. That’s very kind of you. I must admit the mouth was tricky Indeed mainly because it’s all down to the shading I think.

Can you guess who it is?

Hello! Very nice portrait. I must admit I don’t know who it is, but the face looks vaguely familiar to me. Good looking guy.

Patricia.

It looks like Tom Cruise to me. If you can get someone to recognize who you drew, it is good. 🙂
