Portraiture

The National Portrait Museum always has wonderful displays. Portraits are works of art that record the likeness of people. Below is a picture from the museum.  My goal was to draw portraits.  The internet had many tutorials.  The second picture uses a technique of squiggly lines.  The last picture focuses on proportions and lines to use as guidance when drawing a face. - JM
