Maybe 40,000 to 50,000. Some days I draw forty or so of these things. Some days I draw four.
This is not the tidiest sketch, but I only got a few good looks from her. The rest of the time she was buried in her mothers arms. The shy child is the biggest challenge. This type of drawing can only be done with a chiseled point, so you can cover the area quickly and with expression. Each line has to have expression, especially in the elements (eyes, nose and mouth.) It is easier to draw a child in charcoal or pastel with the smudge factor. Pencil is static, and cannot be changed so easily.
