In this pyrography tutorial I will explain how to create the wood burning portrait of a Little Girl's face. In this 3rd installment in my portrait series and just like the previous 2 I cover everything needed to replicate the artwork: transferring the image to the paper/board, burning the art, and signing the artwork. The tutorial concludes with how I tried to fix mistakes on the paper and my thoughts on the paper.
