Description This time I took the advice of Master Graphite Artist-Armin Mersmann. He politely suggested that I move away from celebrity drawings and fan art and compose something original! I snapped a picture of my adorable niece Lindsey, just after her parents sat her down for misbehaving. She wasn't happy that I took her photo in this mood, but I thought it was a real, genuine emotion that would make an interesting drawing!
This is a mood that is not very often captured or recorded in portrait form....which is also why I thought it was cool. She was really giving me the STINK-EYE.
note: Lindsey has a couple of my original drawings hanging in her room ( Sleeping Beauty, Belle, little mermaid ) seen in this gallery.
11" x 14" strathmore 300 series smooth bristol paper.

My mother saw this portrait of your niece.
She agrees with you about when you say to draw realistic mood like anger are better and more original, but it doesn't preclude that she loves your whole gallery. ^^

(sorry for the possible english mistakes.)
