Portraits

People are my favorite subject to draw. As such, my family and friends have grown accustomed to posing for me for hours or receiving portraits of themselves as birthday gifts. I drew this portrait of my father for Christmas last year, from a photo of him when he was 25-- my age!                   

I'm also a fan of drawing the fashion models in Vogue. No one in real life looks this perfect. 


A portrait of my sister, Tess, that I created from a photograph I took when she was 17. She never liked pictures of herself and would not be very happy with me for drawing her so much. 

A more "abstract" portrait of my good friend in college, who patiently sat for me until 4 a.m on a school night (which I admit is pretty early for college students).
