Thanks so much! I have another busy week, but should get to draw more?!?

Very good!!!

Thank you very much!! Love the women in your gallery!

waoooo ! amazing drawing ! the best of your gallery for me. thanks to your new desk ?

Hey Audrey!!! Thanks a bunch!!! Got your Facebook message. Replied. Small world huh? I'm convinced that for a drawing to be good, the photo must be good too? Thanks and have a good week!

oh...forgot...desk...um, I drew most of it on the floor with my lap-desk, ha! It has a bean-bag bottom and a clip arm. Not as nice but you must improvise when needed, ha!

no matter the way you made this portrait, the result is wonderful

TYVM! So are your facebook pics!

Looks totally awesome Rick! Great job, especially the beard! speak soon

Hey Sal!! Welcome back! Guess u guys have fun!?!? Reply to mail later. Busy day/week ahead! But, will draw more at least! TTYS sis!

We had a BLAST!!!! Took the kids on all the rides their height allowed, but they had heaps of fun! They only got a little scared. Glad your sales are going well, hope it all pans out the right way for you. Your doing well to have that much happening with the market the way it is! congrats Bro! Good to see your back to drawing too! ...Once again, I'm totally in AWE of your son. Listening to the album nightly now, there's not one song to not like! All are just totally amazing. He really is going to rock them!

You SIS!!! Glad you're back! Gotta make to to reply to you and the other "Angels" soon. Sold another house today! That's 4 in the past 9 days? Making up for lost time! The smoke will clear in about a week, and it's back to 1 drawing a day!? Oh, speaking of Drew man...her is OFFICIALLY a new member of www.10outoftenn.com now!!! Going to his show in Chicago on Friday. He has LOTS of shows coming up now. You should hear him live! Just as good! I will have to send you his first cd sometime and some other never sold stuff. There are about 20 songs I could send you, ha! More soon girly!

GLAD TO BE BACK!...sorta! was warmer there, we're having a little cold snap at the moment in Sydney, it's abit chilly! Proud of you too! Congrats on the sales Bro Going to check out your son's new site, so is it a band, but they also feature individually? Hope they do! Want him to shine as much as he can! Truly love his music, every song, not just one! Reach is interesting, I love the beat that develops, it's really natural! God I love them ALL! One day I will hear him live! I'm sure of that, he's going to be big! Speak soon and TAKE CARE!

They are all 10 artists, like Drew, who tour together like the movie, "Walk the Line" with Johnny Cash, and build and feed off of each others success. Example: They all take stage, Drew would do 2 of his songs, with the other 9 as backup singers, instruments, etc, and it rotates. He loves the idea and he said there are 1,000 who would die to be in it, so I believe him, ha! Just sent u an oldie of his. Tell me what you think? Cya soon

Okay I get it now, WOW what an experience for him! Got the song too! This is an old one?! Holy CRAP! imagen what he'll be writing in ten years?! He's a true genius!

that was not recorded in a studio, like the others you heard. I will send you more tomorrow, as long as it won't ruin your image of him now, ha!

Hell! It sounds totally professional, You could never ruin the image of DREW! His an Rock angel in my eyes!

Yeah, his friend does a good job!!! Even his first stuff is good in my eyes, ha! After I have sent you EVERYTHING of his (35 songs?) I can send you old stuff from his garage band "A week long day" lol. A tad punk and metal, like Blink 182 or something? Check your mail

You = YO! (fuggin typos, ha!)

Kinda figure it was a typo! Speak soon

Great!

Thanks a LOT!!!

awesome !!

Hey thanks very much!!

Hey Monty! Thanks a lot! You have done many great ones lately!!!

Great job! I love his beard!

Hi thank you!!! The beard took the longest, ha!

Hi Claudine! Thanks so much!!!

Great!!!!!! I'm still tryng to draw De Niro, but recently i have such few free time too!!!

Hey there! Thanks a bunch!!! Yeah, I had a loooooong past 2 weeks and another busy week ahead, but will make time to draw more, ha!

Exellent!!! very good !!

Heya Carl...thanks a LOT!!!

Hi Christine!!! Thanks SO much!!! I want to try color soon. Just need to keep color in mind when I look for photos to draw?

Yes please do this I am waiting but can't wait too much longer. Try just some watercolor on watercolor paper. For skin tones you can use pastel and blend the skin tones it is really easy and fast you will like it Rick it is scary but like me if it doesn't turn out tear it up what do you have to loose. Don't worry about getting the color exact look at what Shahin does he changes everything but it is quite excellent!!!!!!

Ricky - you got some 'splainin' to do...oh - you say working...OK then...good job!

hehe...yeah, sold 3 going on 4 homes in 1 week. Making up for some very lost time! If I didn't have time, I was too tired, or needed some wifey time, ha! Thanks brotha!

Yahoo! That's good to hear...maybe real estate is on the way back

As long as it's back for ME for now, haha! Had a million + volume week, with another $225k to go? Should get me though the fall?

fantastic drawing! i especially like the nose.

Thank you!!! The photo i used had just enough values and covered both extremes of light and dark? Good photos are a must!!

oh yeah, now I remember. Glad you got it back in full order! I know how I feel when my computer is down. Welcome back!!!

TYVM!

Its one of my favorite actors, Rick. Great work!

Thanks very much Kati!!! I Enjoyed drawing him too!

i think you are the next "today`s portrait" drawer, Rick

Hi Kati...thanks, but I think a computer picks them? There are like 70,000 pieces of art on this site? Hard to believe they go through each and pick one? Thanks for your vote though!

i thought the same - 70 000 portraits are on this site. I am 1 year on this site and that was my first Today`s Portrait My favorite of your works is Gordon Ramsay. Its brilliant! I hope you are the next one, Rick

Thanks again Kati! Did you see the tutorial of Gordon on the home page? I'm finishing a more detailed tutorial of my Jonathan Winters soon. TTYL

oh, i found it here at stars-portrait and i thought that you puted it on your own page ...i am blind

ok, Kati, next time open Your eyes

very beautiful!!!!

Thanks SO much again!!!

Great job Rick!! Good resemblance of De Niro. He's beginning to look older!! How sad! He did a fabulous role in the Godfather! Have you ever thought of painting him as a young Vito Corleone?? That would make a great portrait!

ha, there are so many of each celeb I want to do, I will NEVER run out of ideas! I have the next 150+ picked out WITH photos already lol

Hey JR, Love this, hopefully i can get back to drawing, i was working a graphic that I had a deadline on...YOU INSPIRE ME!!!!!

Hey thanks!!! Means a lot! We will be here when you get back, ha!

Thanks man, that means alot!!!

oooooooo great

THanks Sooooooooo much!!!

Hi Rick! take up the men again, right? great actor and so great portrait!! very lifelike as always!!

Excellent portrait of Robert De Niro ! You are really talented !!!

Thank you very much!!!

Thanks SO much!!!

really if some one ask me for the best portrait in this site i choose this portrait ..

Really? wow, I remember rushing through this one after not having drawn for over 10 days. I''m trying to figure out myself why it looks more life like than my others? Contrast? Thanks!

You are welcome .. I Really DON'T know why it looks more life like than the other .. but there are some thing freakish Make me love it so much ..
