Sunday Sketches - Shannon

I was leafing through a magazine at the hairdresser and was inspired by a photo of a model I saw. She had the prettiest hair and eyes and I felt compelled to draw my own version of her.   This portrait is done in acrylic on cardstock (11"h x 8.5"w).  I decided to call her Shannon.



Here's the photo
