Hi Barb. I’m so glad you stopped by! I too enjoyed seeing my portrait and have been showing it to all my friends. You did a great job and captured a true likeness. The challenge was great fun and it is a nice way to meet other artist friends. I noticed from your site that you are just down the road from me. I would love to send you an ADNW apron if you would like one. Just send me your address with the contact form at the top right of the site and I will post it to the mail! Take care, /Lee

Thanks for doing a great job drawing my portrait. I also enjoy working in graphite, and it looks like you had fun with this! I’m looking forward to seeing more of your work. Have a great New Year!

Lee, your drawing is exquisite. You nailed the likeness. The artist you drew will be thrilled with your interpretation.
I also liked your Aspevig study. I’d have to say you nailed that one as well. Wonderful work.

Hi Amanda. Thanks a ton for stopping by. It is so much fun seeing all the work on DSFDF and getting know the work of others. I’ve tagged your blog and I look forward to seeing your future work!

Hello Ann. The eyes are the toughest! After completing the drawing, I noticed a few things that I could do differently next time. Double checking alignments and distances would help drive the likeness further. As always I appreciate your comments!

Dominique. Long time! Thanks for your encouragement. Pencil is fun and I may get some colors sometime to give that a go.

Hi Claire. Always enjoy seeing new faces at ADNW. I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to come over to comment. I will be visiting your blog soon!

Tracie Brown…hey, that is my sister’s name but with a “Y”! I agree with you about the feel of pencil. I am always taken by it for some reason. I actually find it more relaxing than painting sometimes and that is why I like to throw in a drawing or two from time to time. Take care!
