Silly Sisters




I'm almost finished with this graphite portrait of my daughters. I took a few pictures of it with my digital camera, but none of them turned out very great.

When I use my flash it creates a "glare" on the darker graphite. If I don't use a flash it is orange (I have terrible lighting in my house). I tried to shine a light on it, but that doesn't seem to work well, either. I would go outside, but it is always dark when I get home - hate winter sun.

I'm posting two of the better pictures of this portrait. I just need a few opinions on the darks and I'd like to add something in the background, although it may be too much.

This is graphite on paper, 13"x15".

HELP!

Thanks,
Dianna
