The collar has roughly been sketched in because I don't want detail here, after all the main focus of attention should be her face and not the collar so it is a good idea sometimes to leave areas sketchy so as not to draw attention.



 

Here more of the ribbon frills down the side of her hair have been resolved a bit more although I want this area also to be sketchy.

Here is the finished sketch in coloured pencils and I hope you can see that attention is brought to the girls face and everything else is just suggested. This is just one way to draw a portrait and here I could have gone in with great detail and neatness in this portrait but I opted for a sketch, why! because I think some people look best done in a sketchy way especially children.
