Portrait #1: Hannah M.

This weekend I drew Hannah with a graphite stick. She had a somewhat bored expression in the drawing although she was more expressive since she was talking to Megan and Sarah. Having sat in the round bucket chair, she looks trapped in or disgusted by, our apartment, or maybe her new job as an RA. I accidentally drew her hands too small, but I think their silly quality makes it look like Hannah is unconsciously fiddling with them out of nervousness. Hannah asked me not to draw her to look round and Irish, referencing Brian having asked me not to draw him skinny and Jewish. (I had an easier time following Hannah's request.)

Portrait rating: 4 out of 5
