A step to step way to make portraits of your loved once!
This is an easy project depending on how well you draw really. I can make portraits in about 20-30 minutes, which looks like the person I'm drawing, but I have had a lot of exercise. So if you are not that skilled an artist, you should start with an more easy going picture. And remember never to give up, cause you can always take your faults and make them better.
