The Migrant Mother by Dorothea Lange is an iconic photograph taken in 1936.
It symbolizes the poverty, hopelessness and hunger endured by many Americans during the 1930s Great Depression and is still very relvant today. The photograph shows the mother with her children.
The portrait drawn is of the mother.
Your sketch is great, but don't be afraid of your tonal range.
Lovely work. As always with graphite drawing I would suggest you create a little more contrast by darkening you 'darks' a bit more. I saved your image to my phones gallery and just boosted the contrast.
What a great photo and you’ve done so well George. There’s a danger of over-emphasising the wrinkles on the face, but you’ve got it just right. Helen
