A portrait is a nice keepsake from a friend or pet. Learning how to paint portraits of people or animals is a skill that, when developed, can earn you a good amount of extra income. Drawing a portrait is also challenging, even for the most experienced and talented artists. Yair Shoshani, a famous portrait painter, was famous for this occurrence: "A portrait is a resemblance to a person, but with something strange in its mouth." Be patient with yourself and keep practicing every day!
