She was definitely worthy of portraiture. I agree with Robert, you definitely captured the Kennedy look here. It’s true that proportions are key.

The more I do these portrait doodles, the more I learn that a likeness is much more about proportion than detail. I find a well placed scribble is infinitely more useful than a beautifully rendered feature placed in the wrong place.
