    Dear friends,

    I am in a fix to help daughter complete this sketch. i am attaching her version and the inspiration she used to do the sketch.

    the problem is the hair..how to go about fixing the hair.. experts and connoisseurs both can give their suggestions.

    I felt a little more shading/erasing in the hair part would bring a better effect..but have my doubts, and don't want to make her mess up a good picture..

    I am not an expert...

    How about the shade of the hair being lighter than the eyebrow and darker than the skin....

    As I am an amateur I am sorry to say that I have no idea.

    But on a side note, as I remember your daughter does mostly sad drawings.Why is that?Just asking:hide:

    Oh, it is just suggestions sowmya. a different perspective. it so happens all the drawings are inspired by teen favorites twilight, pop singers..and it just comes out that way. we have already asked her the same question and she says it is not a reflection of me, so don't worry..

    on that note , let me post a not sad picture from her..

    Oh she is so good at it... did she go for any classes on charcoal drawing?
    Then erasing should be better..just a thought... she will know better...

    Do post the drawing once completed would like to know how has it finally come out...

    Somya,

    thanks. no she has not gone for any classes. we just learn together by trial and error and of course through the criticism and comments.

    will do..still waiting for the best method.
