Kevin and Kate

If you're following these posts, you'll have begun to notice the ladder of horizontal lines going down each piece. I have always eyeballed my drawings - done them directly from pictures, even with the pen. While this is sufficient most of the time, the delicacy of a portrait means that finding a likeness to the subject is a matter of a millimeter or two. So I use the pencil ladders as a measuring technique. And it works.

Here's a lady with lots of buttons. Having only two blues in the set of brush pens, I thought I'd try and use grey as a blue, also. But it doesn't work. Got all the proportions right, though.
