Great book. I’ve taken Carrie’s classes. She was a great instructor. I went from not being able to draw much better than a third grader to drawing portraits for my department.

helpful with my child portraits!

I have created likenesses of children that look just like them, but older. This author had many hints in how to portraitize children to look their real age. Enjoyable and helpful!
