Cara and Sam

[Patricia Joyce]

Hi Cindy,
I welcome your comments and would like more feedback, perhaps now it should be in drawing critiques. anyway, the reason for this composition is that the ref pic was very severe lighting with very little showing of their bodies, the twist of the girls's shoulder particularly unnattractive to me. So after trying several compositions, and probably because of my lack of experience, I decided to give it a Norman Rockwell look (after viewing some of the drawings of his kids). Maybe I should add Cara and Sam in block lettering like Rockwell used to do?!!

Pat, forgive me - I just realised that I was not supposed to critique.

I can remove my comments if you wish - I feel just terrible.

Sheepishly,

[Patricia Joyce]

Cindy,
Please, don't feel bad at all. I always welcome comments and I value your insight. No apology required AT ALL!!!

David,
Thanks!!

This is your strongest drawing to date, very solid and dimensional. I would leave a little more space on the bottom. Her chin is a little too close and I think it needs more room below. Well done. You should be proud of your progress.

Hi Pat,

I like this a lot, you've come so far. This is delightful and sensitive. I agree with Marvin completely, crop it and call it done.
