Loose Line Portrait of a Woman in a Chain Circlet

A woman's face and bare shoulders are drawn in a loose, sketchy line style. She looks toward the viewer with a slight head tilt, long lashes around her eyes, defined eyebrows and full lips. A thin chain circlet sits across her head, with a small teardrop jewel hanging at the center of her forehead. Her hair is swept to one side in big soft waves and ends in a large curl that swirls down past her shoulder. A few short strokes on her cheek add some shading. This free printable page leaves plenty of open space on the face, neck and hair, so it suits older kids, teens and adults who like detail. Try colored pencils for the skin and eyes, then use two or three shades of one color in the hair to show where the waves fold and curl. The jewel is a nice spot for a metallic pen or a bright accent color.
