Thanks all for the kind words.
I work from photos due to time constraints and finance. I usualy draw between 11pm-3am, not exactly the best hours to have someone sitting for me.  Professional models in the area want $25 an hour, something I can't afford especially that it takes me many hours to finish. I'll eventually figure something out, now's not the best time.
The girl who posed for it came to pick up her print and she got to see the original. She was very happy with it and would like to do it again.
Thanks again.

Thank you Linda, but I have to credit the best poses to the model. Ling just fell into place with these poses like a pro. It makes it so much easier having a model as enthused as you are. Thanks again.

Hi Jimmie, I have a new favorite now. She is looking straight into my soul this time. This has wonderful engagement with the viewer. You are right-handed aren't you.

Thank you Jean, yes, I'm right-handed. When I'm working with charcoals and am doing lines in the opposite direction, I slow down a bit. Working quickly will result in some of the lines having 'hooks'.

Beautiful draftmanship!
Jimmie, if you develop painting as sensitively as as you have drawing, there'll be no stopping you.

Hi Jimmy,
I have wanted to comment on your drawings for some time but felt I could only reiterate on the previous statements made. I always enjoy your posts. Your draftsmanship and sense of design are wonderful, but what I enjoy most about your work is the sensitivity given to the subject. You can really feel the personality of the model, great work!
