The pen one, I can see you there Tessa. The pencil one, it's you around the eyes. Addictive it is because we keep trying for the "perfect" one. Perhaps the next challenge is to paint each other.

Oh good lord Marjorie! What next? We do like a challenge don’t we!?  Thank you for recognising me in the pen version. It’s very strange trying to look at yourself out of the corner of your eye, but I think we’ve probably all done better than expected and got decent likenesses. Must be a result of all that sketching practice this year. I’ve polished off two sketch pads already.

Yes it’s good to see the person behind the words.have you discovered who’s mouth you are wearing Tessa? . It will be god to see who turns one out to day...The Alan’s are conspicuous by their absence.

No Sylvia, the owner is still missing! Think it was the pursed lips concentration look. I think paint may suit better, but could be even worse. At least I had a go...

Picking up on some of the conversation, between you ladies, Tessa I have the same problem, I start of drawing somebody, and some complete stranger appears on the paper. my profile picture is only 1 of three people I'm proud to display, the picture is of my Dad, and the other is of a family member holding their new born daughter.

I really like this Alan. I’m assuming it looks like you.  We could all post pics of anyone and get away with it.  Lol.

Tessa, two good attempts - I think I prefer the ink one.   Alan, obviously I don't know if it is a good likeness, but it does look a good portrait.    Stan, that looks pretty good to me.
