Portrait J.B.

This was a portrait I drew for the girl's 16th birthday. Although the portrait doesn't capture all of her characteristics, I attempted to sketch her prominent cheeks, forehead, and eyes.

Portrait T.A.

This is a portrait of a bold girl who I see almost everyday at school. Whenever I sent out an open response asking what I should draw, she asked me to draw her portrait. Her prominent features are captured in the portrait. Her most distinguished characteristics would be her head shape, hair, and eyes.

Portrait Marie Curie

This is a portrait of the Polish physicist and chemist, Marie Curie. The reason why I drew her portrait was for a chemistry project, where we were assigned to explain how her accomplishments and knowledge has affected us now. Marie Curie worked mainly in France, and is famous for her pioneering research on radioactivity. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, as well as the only woman to win in two fields, and the only person to win in multiple sciences.

Portrait R.R.

This is a portrait of a friend who I currently see everyday at school. I decided to draw her portrait after she asked when she looked through my previous sketches. Her most prominent features were her mouth, eyes, and hair.

Portrait C.T.

When she looked at my previous drawings, she asked if I could sketch her portrait. Her most prominent features were her lips and creases beneath her eyes.

Portrait T.L.

I met this person in Tucson, Arizona, where I joined my school to attend a sustainability conference. When this girl saw my previous sketches, she asked if I could draw her portrait.Her most prominent features were her eyebrows and eyes.

Satellite

This sketching was for a project in chemistry centered around Marie Curie. We were assigned to create a project that focused on how Marie Curie has impacted our lives today. My group asked me to draw this satellite, since this was one of the tools Marie Curie helped form from her knowledge and accomplishments.
