Art, comics, graphic design and web development by the artist: Matthew Taylor

I attempted to make this drawing really soft. I avoided using harsh black lines and I tried to keep the lines I did use to a minimum. I really like the result.
Look at the Detail in her face to see how I've simplified the drawing. Also see a larger version of Softly drawn girl (Soft charcoal pencil drawing) on my new website.
'The portrait is one of the most curious art forms. It demands special qualities in the artist, and an almost total kinship with the model.' - Henri Matisse
