Woman with coffee

Pencil sketches are my comfort zone, so if I am feeling blocked, I get out my sketchbook and, in this case, a mechanical pencil. Google images is always a fun place to go for ideas, but sometimes overwhelming. As I was having my morning coffee, this particular image caught my eye, with the stark lighting and the pensive look. The trouble is giving credits to the photographer who originally created the image. Since this is in my sketchbook, and not likely to ever be sold, I figure I'm safe. This particular image is Allison Emm, makeup artist / blogger.
