Daily Sketches

In 2026, feeling stuck with my progress with drawing and painting, I set myself a simple rule: one portrait a day. Here they are in chronological order: the good, the bad, and everything in between.

Portrait sketch of a woman with wavy, curly hair framing her face. She looks straight ahead with a calm, tired expression, with deep shading around the eyes, nose, and lips. Drawn in dark sanguine pencil on toned paper.

A woman with long dark hair stands against a white textured wall, holding a spiral sketchbook with the portrait from the first picture. Two decorative masks hang on the wall behind her.

Graphite portrait sketch of a woman looking straight at the viewer. She has dark hair pulled back with some loose strands, and sunglasses resting on top of her head. One hand supports her cheek, and she wears a small earring and a simple shirt, with soft shading around the eyes and neck.
