I wanted to experiment doing a portrait using Watercolour Pencils.  I used a reference photo from p29 'Hair' Magazine Sept 2016.   I reverse image searched it and you can find it as the 8th picture at the link below:

I've been too scared to draw many portraits in the past, but for this one I used a light box and traced her face using a rainbow of colours with watercolour pencils.  I'm not confident enough to draw free hand yet.  But as my first experiment of a portrait using this technique with watercolour pencils, I'm happy with the result!

Earlier in the year I drew a girl from behind, wearing one of my favourite hairstyles, which can be found here: 'Twirl Hairstyle' by Shiloh Moore August 2016

I wanted to try again to draw a girl, this time with a plait.  I added a red bow as I loved wearing ribbons in my hair when I was young and had long hair (and scrunchies - it was the 80's/early 90's!)  These are two of my favourite hairstyles for long hair.  In my dreams, when I am healthy, I have long hair (I had to have my  waist-length hair cut off aged 14 due to the pain it caused with Fibromyalgia. Even tying shorter hair back or wearing a headband hurts - to this day, so I have had very short hair since.)  I love long hair and I associate it with my childhood - a happy time when I was healthier.

My dear friend Cat visits often, and one time she was looking way too adorable with her hipster glasses and cute hair.  I just had to take a photo and draw her!  Here is my effort.  I'm not too happy with her lips and teeth, but I love how her hair has turned out.  Next time I might ask her to keep her mouth closed?!  But she radiates with her smile!  She pointed out she looks very French in my drawing of her.  I'm also not happy that I think I've made her look way older than she it.  But I'm new to portraits and it was fun to do.

I was recently browsing Pinterest and found a number of gorgeous line drawings by several artists, of women, of which I especially loved their hair.  So I looked up a favourite hairstyle I used to love when I had longer hair, and drew it using that style. Beauty!
