Ah, I see what you mean, Chris. I was worried that my edges were making the drawing look too 'sharp'. My husband, who often critiques my work with an artful eye, thought it looked a bit too edgy...but then if you look back at my other drawings, it seems to be something I carry with me throughout them. Part of my style?? I am not sure if it is a good thing or a bad thing. I agree with both you and Steven, and it seems I have to find a middle ground between the two. I don't want my drawings to be TOO 'photographically real', I want to see drawing strokes in there. Most important for me is capturing the essence of the person. I want the viewer to look at the image and see that individual's personality. I am working on it, slowly! I think you can definitely see Grace's personality in this drawing.
I am glad you like it!
Thanks, you two, for answering my question! It will help me with my future attempts!
