These were just some quick sketches of my adorable cousin Gracy. She is a lot of fun to sketch... I love all of her flowing hair! I think sketching is important. It helps me to visualize a possible painting and keep up my drawing skills. As a painter, I think understanding value and being able to translate it onto the canvas is key. Sketching always helps me to focus more on value. These sketches were quickly done, not really studies in value but they still are a good exercise even if you only have 5 minutes!

Thanks everyone for the comments! To answer your question ROFO, she is actually facing someone while playing a game. I just love sketching her hair... so there's no deeper meaning... but I suppose that's ultimately up to the viewer right?
Sunny, thanks for the follow :)
Love the sketches!
