Thanks to all of you for your responses to the recent group of pencil portraits. There are things children do that we can’t help but love them for, either because you’ve had children or you were one. Except cats, most of them prefer adults.
The portraits are also practise using tones and values, something that needs more attention as a foundation to color when I return to it.

Evelyn, Andra’s older sister (next) 11 x 14 inches Graphite, eraser on paper.
When drawing I use the eraser as much as the pencil. Taking advantage of smudges that build up gradually is a good way to keep adjusting the placement of things and clarify details. This is especially effective with portraits.
