New Pencil Sketch Technique

I learned a new technique the other day.  I love learning new techniques.  This one was a pencil sketch technique.  I’ve tried other pencil sketch tutorials in the past but just never really liked the end result.  They always looked too computerized…that’s the best way for me to describe it.  Just not quite right.  But this one is awesome!

I took this photo of my niece on Mother’s Day this year.  Here’s the color photo:

Isn’t she just adorable?  I love the look on her face here and she’s just too cute with her hands on her face.  What a kid!

The problem with learning a new technique, though, is that I want to use it on everything!  So…you’ll probably be seeing lots more sketches.  You’ve been forewarned.
