Lost Skills

I'm trying to regain my skills in portrait sketching. It's been a long time since I last picked up my Mars Lumograph sketching pencils... So I decided to draw someone. So it happens I chose Jessica Alba.

After 3 hours of doodling/sketching, I showed my youngest sister the drawing.

"What do you think? Does it look nice?", I asked hopefully.

"Eeee yeeerrr, it looks like a chao ah gua." What a heartless response.

Surely it was not that bad? I just drew the face too thin, the lips too thick and the cheeks too high... Fine, fine. It was horrible. But at least I tried. And no, I'm not giving up!

Guess who's gonna be my next model?
