So I usually start with a charcoal outline. I don't get too detailed because I don't want to get too wrapped up in something that will shortly be painted over. So this is simply a charcoal pencil on an already primed gallery canvas. I prefer using a gallery canvas so that one doesn't necessarily need a frame. Mainly the sketch is for proportion. How big do I want the subject matter, do I want a lot of background etc. The eyes are most important so I try to capture this first. That's my primary subject. Look how pretty she looks!
