Lovely pose, liking the Prussian blue. Very nice.

Shhh! - don't tell all my secrets Micky! A nice portrait.

Thanks Andre and Adele. I can keep a secret Adele but I can't remember working with you. We’re you on the Vice Squad?

I hope you didn’t fall into her trap Michael, I couldn’t blame you if you did, she is beautiful. I like how you have applied the pencil, some areas left with just the tone of the card/papershowing through, it’s very effective. Like Andre the Prussian Blue looks good how you’ve used it.

That's a super drawing Michael.

I can't imagine that you fell for her charms Michael, you are too much of a gentleman! Great portrait though!

She looks a bit sad and disappointed but you have done a beautiful drawing out that Michael.

Beautifully drawn Michael
