Russian Girl 4



If children grew up according to early indications, we should have nothing but geniuses.
Goethe




I spent the better part of today staring at this little girl's face. She has such depth to her eyes. This kid knows things! Anyway, while I think I'm just about finished with the ribbon, hair, and dress I want to come back and put some finishing touches on the face. It needs a little more modeling to give it more dimension. That's the problem I've found with drawing children ~ no wrinkles or facial hills and valleys to give the drawing depth. Of course it could be I'm just not ready to tell her good-bye.
