Number 46: heading towards 100 portraits of M.
I challenged myself to draw 100 portraits of my partner M. This is the 46th one. He is a very good subject to draw: he is around much, he sits quiet for long times (looking at his laptop, tv and/or a book), he doesn’t start to act strangely when I draw him, neither do I. The last thing is not unimportant. I often get nervous when I draw a friend, because I worry about the result.
More portraits of M. are in this Flickr slide show:

What a great way to get good practice! The sketches are very nice.

I have drawn several portraits of my spouse. Perhaps I shall count what I have already done and see if I can continue to 100. That is a fun challenge and I love your sketches. (EAGHL)

I really love the line drawing at the top of the post. My wife won’t let me draw her(so all my drawings are on the sly..don’t tell her.) 😉

You are lucky to have such a great model! Not only does he have wonderful structure, but he is still! My husband fidgets, especially when he senses me sketching him!

It is very nice to see these expressive drawings. I like your approach.
