Take a look at: Cindy Woods

"13 year old Zana drawing me
at The Richmond Folk Festival today, I was passing through the craft booths and saw this young boy drawing, he saw I was drawing too, he pulled over a new sheet of paper and started to draw me, I did the same, we smiled at each other, an impromptu Portrait Party! We exchanged e-mails and names after, when I receive his drawing of me I'll post it too.
"
 
Drawing by Cindy Woods (1956-2008)
 
This is honest and pure direct drawing. 
Drawing what you see. Drawing everything all the time. Your style is your story. 
This is her story...in honor of Cindy, please take a look at some of her drawings
You can find much more about her there if you want by starting at the beginning. 
You'll be better for it if you do.
