This is, in your true mastery, magnificent. I'm sure you will have no problem selling, and I wish you luck. Congratualtions, you have been gifted with great talent.
Well Dr. John, wasn't it my lucky day when I came across the photo. So easy to follow ,with great lighting and great pleasure to be had just playing with the hair. I couldn't go wrong
Yeeeeaah. That's what the great ones say. Me? I'm like: "Man! That was tough! My reference sucked! Sun was in my eyes. Power went out. I know I'd do better if it weren't for these stomach aches."
I don't believe a word of it John! Of course I try to avoid poor references, but when I try to do anything from a poor reference I do get a poor product. That is another reason I am so grateful to you for Dr. Macro!!
I don't see any 'dogs' in your gallery, but know what you mean for my part! Many of my old mentors considered it unsporting to reproduce anything too faithfully or even to have pictorials tacked up near the easel! This made me go back and count - fully 60 pieces in my gallery were done with only a lazy, faulty, impressionistic memory in mind. AND, 'Oh, Boy Howdy!" as some useta say -- does it ever show!!! I think I'll keep posting the suggestion "Don't like it? - Dial 1-800-SHUV-OFF!" But, please, NOT YOU Dear Reader!
I'm not here to flatter you John, or put myself down , looking for compliments or the like. But this much is very true, I can draw zilch from memory, I'm really lost without my reference, so when I see a good one ,I don't let it get past. Also, we can't like everything we see, but better to see it than not, But I won't be dialing that number
No need - you've got it down brother.
I do better with a better photo too - but to me, it seems an entirely different feeling of accomplishment and harder to bring something new and better to the party - thanks for not dialing the number or calling the Pencil Police!
