Day fifty of The 100 Day Project for 2021.
Halfway, thank goodness.
Today has been emotionally calmer, also, thank goodness.
And more productive for my own work, though I will sneak some paid work in shortly.
As it's day 50 today, I prioritised my sketch and sat down to do it while the daylight still prevailed (even if it doesn't as I write this).
There are myriad issues with the details of her hair and her top. And lots of other imperfections.
And with the way I've rendered her, she's actually more of a portrait than a cameo. But I'm moderately happy with today's effort.
The cameo necklace serving as today's source image was actually bought for me by Simon from a charity shop somewhere in Australia on our road trip in 2019. He bought it with the intention of me using the necklace to replace the ones that had failed from other pendants.
He didn't realise how much I like cameos and that this was a perfect find for me. The salmon pink colour also works wonderfully with pale pink and vibrant green dresses. So the necklace has proved useful, but as its own piece, it's also perfect.
I sketched this in 4H, then drew over most lines and shading with an HB pencil.
