=====================================================

Here is a sketch of a big eyed maiden.  She is glancing sweetly backwards...  I think she is most likely a mermaid, although she could also be a fairy angel or a goddess.  I'm unsure if I'll paint her or not, but I did enjoy sketching her.

I've decided to try and do a sketch a day in October. This is from day 5. 

I would like to try to reach a goal of 100 faces sketched on consecutive days, I started this effort on September 1st, 2017...  This is face 35. 

This is a rough sketch.  You may see some of my finished paintings at lisarusso.com if you'd like.
