Thomasin, Allan and Alex,
Thank you. Allan, I happy that you think the drawing looks effortless because in truth is is layers and layers of graphite, slowly built up. I am really itching to paint because I believe my drawings are getting closer to what painting a portrait is like. I push and pull allot to get the form I like. This piece was difficult because the client wanted little contrast on her face, which is not what I prefer. But we all know the customer is always right!

Patricia,

Very nice drawing...I have to agree with Allan in that it looks effortless. I especially like the way you treated the hair...and the rest of the face is very soft and sweet.

Thank you, Carlos.
I should not admit it, but rendering hair has long been my nemesis, to the point that I am anxious before I even start and I am always afraid it shows. I feel dislexic with the curls!
