Excellent reworking of the hair and flesh tones, Vanessa.

I did less about the hair than about the skin, but I'm glad that you noticed both, thank you very much Mike

fantastic, anyway in both of them!!! how did you rework it?

Well, I went to an art shop. I told the assistant I had black Bristol paper and I wanted to use colour pencils on it because I had seen online an image of someone who had done it. She said I had the wrong paper. I said I wanted to use it anyway, and perhaps it was a matter of using pencils with rich pigments and a soft creamy texture. She said that the pencils I had at home were wrong, that she had the right ones but that they wouldn't work on my paper. Well I bought them anyway, used them with my wrong paper and blended them with my wrong pencils. And now I feel very lucky! Thank you very much Raffaella

well, the restyling has got another brightness and effectivness, but it works because the original work is very well done. my congratulations again

Thanks again

Excellent work

Thank you very much Sazz

great job

Thank you very much dear friend

Hi Vanessa..something to listen to while looking at your so well done Jason...Love this song and your portrait and Jason is one of my favorite singers... https://www.google.com.au/search?ei=aMSzXJ_BGIr0rQGCvqOIBQ&q=jason+mraz+im+yours&oq=jason+mraz+im+yours&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0i10i67j0j0i10j0j0i10l2j0l3j0i10.7464.11383..12102...0.0..0.201.1551.0j8j1......0....1..gws-wiz.......0i131i67j0i67.PNdMqxuM2xU hope the link works..

Jason Mraz is a man who has outgrown many hard times, freed himself from many self-destructive tendencies and addictions, acquired a lot of widsom and apparently succeed in remaining simple and humble while being famous, he's a very rare person. I tend to think that life is cooler in the shade, and to seek the friendship of rare people with ordinary lives that look more like mine (though I've just found out that I'm autistic and that therefore I'm not the standard human type). I don't look up to stars now as I did when I was young, only to the real astronomical stars. Still there are sounds, mostly, and sometimes even song lyrics that I really like, and Jason Mraz is also one of my favourite singers for both songs and lyrics. Thanks for the link (works fine and the song is as cool as ever) and for the comment, Nev. Cheers.

As so many famous people who appear to have it all under control have everything and struggle ..I have only come into contact with him with his music so your comments open up a newer part of him to me and thank you for sharing so personally the closeness of your self and really ,you come across very human and talented, especially in your art...Yes I think everything changes as we age ,those things we did change and so do the stars who hold perhaps memories of movies and pictures in our minds that we once saw.. and yes I have a telescope that looks skyward occasionally... ..I thought adding the link was great to listen to as I looked back a little at your gallery...added a little extra dimension so to speak.. any ways you are for me and it is great to have you for the time to exchange and interact in our art and thoughts..so yes Cheers Vanessa and catch you shortly.. (Glad we both like Jason's music.)

You’re so good at capturing the expressions in your art

As you are too! Thank you very much dear Yukiko!

Funny that all the smileys were gone from my above comment… You’re welcome anyway

Oups! Un portrait qui m'a échappé, il est très réussi en tout cas. Et super chanteur en plus !

J'aime beaucoup ses chansons aussi. Aucun souci, merci pour ton commentaire qui fait bien plaisir.

Je t'en prie !

Excellent ! On voit bien le travail des textures qui donne du relief au portrait.

Un grand merci, Aurélie !

Avec plaisir !
