New Pic

I have just began working on a life study of the beautiful Sara Morgan, dressed as a Spanish dancer. I love everything about this photo, from the pose, to the look on her face, to the outfit, which is just fierce! I only hope I can do it justice. I think it's so important to capture a persons spirit in a portrait..
To me, if you can't do that, then even the best drawn portrait in the world is worthless.

I just need to get the character right. She's such a bubbly girl, and I need to show that. I spent two hours on out today and I'm feeling quite pleased with it. Not a huge amount to do on it now.. Maybe I'll have it done by the weekend.
