Hey…Gord…:slight_smile:

Just stopping by mostly to just say HI…:slight_smile: and to see if I can get a smile on my face from your great funny faces series…yap, it worked…:slight_smile: :scream:
I think that if that face you are just starting comes out anywhere near as good as that pencil one you did awhile back, of the young girl,…you should end up with something great…a lot of work involved there…:slight_smile:
Looking forward to seeing the updates on this latest one, nice start…:thumbsup:
TAKE CARE

Thanks SpiritDreamer - glad you stopped by. Not looking so great right now very wishy-washy start - and no undo - or zoom!

Hi…Gord…:slight_smile:

Looks like you are really starting to get a nice feel for all of those subtle emotions that the human face is capable of, through expression…closer to your goal of having a face be more than just a face that you expressed a couple of years back I think…:thumbsup: …just a passing thought here…maybe use the same idea and approach as your doing with the faces, and do it with the hand/hands also…In combination with the emotions expessed in your faces, you might see if you can portray those same emotions with hand gesture along with the face,and with the face, in the same painting/drawing…might be interesting, and for sure a challenge,…plus it might really add more power to your paintings/drawings…can the hand/hands be more than just a hand/hands kind of thing, to go with your can a portrait/face be more than just a portrait/face thought…THOUGHTFUL hands…:scream:
Just a thought that came into my mind, as I was enjoying all of these great expressions and emotions that you have been capturing in your face series…KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK…Gord…:thumbsup:
