Ok, by far the most difficult art I have attempted is portraits in watercolor.  How does Charles Reid and others make it look so easy?  Here is attempt at painting Benedict Cumberbatch

Principal Dancer Portrait

Here is a portrait of a principal dancer from a famous ballet company based on a black and white photo.  I won't say who it is because it probably doesn't quite look like him.

The Elk Hunt

Here is a drawing of a Native American and his horse out on an elk hunt based on a photo I found in the recent issue of National Geographic.  I first drew a few gesture lines, established the correct proportions, and then looked for interesting lines and unified shapes.
