I have drawn animals my entire life. When I was younger I never had any interest in drawing humans, but as my art improved I started wanting to branch out. I have loved experimenting with different mediums (charcoal, colored pencils, chalk pastels, oil paints, etc.) and I've enjoyed branching out with landscapes, but I was always too afraid to try drawing humans because I'm awful at proportions. Today I was feeling brave so I decided to just go for it. The result is above.
This is completely free hand drawn with a reference photo (no tracing). I'm extremely critical of my work, so all I see are the faults, but my family has praised the result so I decided to call it done and stop trying to "fix" it. After stepping away for a bit I'm pleased with the result aside from the glaring proportion issues. It will get better with more practice. I really like the pose, the face shape and the hair. I also like the individual features, but I do wish they were the correct size. Oh well. Please let me know what you guys think! Feedback (good or bad) is helpful. :) Thanks guys!
