I just love the way you draw your hair in these portraits. It looks so perfectly textured!

Dahling, this is beautiful. The only suggestion I have to make it even better would be to make the darkest areas even darker. It's good to have at least a few areas in a drawing that are almost black, if not completely black. This might be easier to do with a softer pencil (like a nicely sharpened 6B). I know you use fairly light pencils, sweetheart, and it would be really hard to make good dark areas with them... But that's just my suggestion, hun. Gosh, I'm rambling!

Love you, wifey, and this is just gorgeous!

Know what dear husband of mine? You always make me feel so special with the things you tell me. Smile Now then...I know what you mean about making the darker areas darker. Like where the lips separate and under the chin and the dark area of the eyes. But, alas, I couldn't find my dark pencils and I thought I'd messit up if I tried to darken it in PS. So I left it as is. Know what? I rub you so muchly. And I hope your poor little hands are doing better lovey. Mwah!

    They are doing much beter, thank you sweetings. It was getting iffy there for a while, but the week away from typing (I was still checking in once in a while) has really helped the pain die down. I think if I stay in moderation, I should be just fine. And drawing doesn't hurt a might, fortunately, because I've always held my pencil really strangely.... The callouses on my fingers are in all the wrong places. Wink
