This is a drawing of a picture of a friend when she was in Europe. Oil pastels. The background is all messed up and not detailed enough and sketchy and it shows bits of white and it kind of bleh. The face is ok but I need better control and coverage with the pastels. I gave her the picture though and she recognised 1) that it was of her and 2) the photo I'd used as a reference, so that's good at least.
That said, my boyfriend couldn't identify who the drawing's of, even though he's known this particular friend of mine for nearly two years now.
I might have to concede that the jury's out on the recognisability of this drawing.
