Christy Talbott's drawing children from life




I'd been thinking for some time that I'd ideally love to do my children's portraits from life. I just feel that although extremely challenging, I'll be a better painter in the end if I work in this way. We'll see what happens! I've a lot to learn. Inspired by Michael G's life drawing sketchbook, I've decided to start my own thread to record my progress. I'd love to get critiques, so please feel free to offer them.

Here are drawings of Lilah (my daughter age 4) and my son Noah (age 10). I'm afraid some of these look cheesy and as though they are made up out of my mind. It's difficult to overcome this since I am drawing out of my mind to a large degree. They won't stay still for me. I think tomorrow I'll try to begin more concentrated studies of hands or feet.

Thank you for looking!
