If you're interested.



Give me a little while and I'll make a slideshow (or at least a sequence of pictures) showing how I did it. This is because BarnakedLady and primate1 were interested, if either of them are still around.

That is just breathtaking...

And your slide show just blows me away...

I'm thinking you could really break into the artistic market with your ability...

Thank you so much for posting this wonderful drawing, sweetie!

It just means I can push a pencil around and make nice marks with it, that's all. What really matters is how you make people feel.

34. When I push the pencil around and make marks, they're...
very different from your marks. :eyes:    :)

Please realize, billy, that your artwork makes people feel really good; it's awe-inspiring, at least for me. It truly is a gift that can add to people's lives in ways known and unknown even if they don't know the subject.

Believing in reincarnation the way that I do, I hope that I can at some point come back with more right brain ability and have even a quarter of the talent that you do.

Do you draw things other than people? Do you have other artistic abilities? (Do you paint, work with clay, etc.?)

I've decided to try my hand at the creative process and focus on the process itself rather than the outcome; to not judge myself or the end product but rather to take joy in the journey rather than the destination.

Thank you for the inspiration and for sharing your gift with us. :hug:

Funny, the hand was the bit of the picture I was long dissatisfied with. Hands and feet are always difficult. I guess it turned out okay.
