Excellent, basic drawing clean fresh and very accurate and true to her My only things is the non use of backgrounds. Many artist even ones taught in art schools or classes don’t put background in I will try to explain here in this wonderful sketch the right hand side carries the light so with a small amount of very light shade you could have eliminated the face contour line also a slightly darker mass amount of white on the paper would take down the tone and allow the white in the faces to be greater more brilliant without touching anything on the drawing. If you don’t believe me cut out the face shape from a another piece of paper a place over the work as a background using a pencil or graphite block shade the cu out and place over the face then the face is the same but has a background see if you think it looks better or different perhaps. :grin: :8) :clap: :clap: :clap:

I used to take a face down a little with graphite powder so I could cut back marks with a putty rubber. All this because of your excellent work and you have a great talent I hope to see more drawings done Please excuse my advise only your work is so wonderful I want to help you become better. If you wish come to my gallery and judge whether I am a good artist and know my stuff. Brian, Brainfree. :grin: :8) :clap: :clap: :clap:

Oh! You're good, thanks very much, I have not been professionally trained, but because they like Hepburn, only the courage to pick up a paintbrush! Thank you for your reply, indeed, let me benefit from your great admiration, love your work! :sweat: :sweat: :sweat: :blush: :blush: :cry:

OK, whether professionally trained or not is not the important thing do you want to be the best if so then practice and ask questions. I started drawing 50 years ago and have had to learn myself but I have always asked questions. The most important part of your work is the talent you have for likeness it is not important to be trained at art school unless you want to be a teacher or make money. I enjoy helping other so I'm alway open for questions your drawings are all excellent but even so could be better not perhaps the drawing it's self but the presentation to the viewer. I ount bore you any more but great artist learn't at the elbow of a older artist so stop worrng I know many art students after two years ae not as good as you so keep working paractice and have a think about what I have said before. :grin: :8)

Please excuse my English, if there is no clearly you must be confident that you will always be my most respectable artists! :love: :love: :love: :love:

Not quite there a little comfusing, I understand respected not respectable, a respectable person means upstanding of a class more of the present tense. But 'no clearly' is a bit off. Have another go, I enjoy answering. :grin: :8) :thumbup:

Aslo there are men and Chinese stars of stage and Music. I would love to paint one for you, is there anyone you from the whole world of stars, you would like drawn for you. :grin: :8) :grin: :8)
