Sanguinely Spirited

Comments

A very clever portrait indeed and using coloured pencil - I love your style - you certainly have talent. The sanguine dust is very effective. Alan looks a bit of a character.

Hi Adebanji, that's some sort of serious hair do going on there. I too like your style mate. Loose and interesting. Good stuff.

Thanks JH, VK and CC, He is a great lad, we play pool together and nobody wants to loose. So we are both very competitive and tempers run high! I was inspired to do his face something to depict his and my high sanguine spirits! I had to get into a high gear to throw all the strokes here and there!
