Portrait of Elle

Comments

A good 'un, Micheal. Just a few lines to form that face, and create a very real person.

I really like the simplicity of this - clever drawing!

Thanks Heather, Lewis and Gudrun.

Lovely sensitive portrait Michael.

She’s growing into a fine looking young woman Mick. A loving and tender portrait, is this one of her bridesmaids poses?

Quite brilliant Michael bold balanced style and very fluent

Lovely portrait Michael, you must be a very proud grandad 😀

Thanks Dennis and Linda.

You have created a beautiful portrait full of elegance and Joie de vivre in pencil. Very impressive Michael.

Thank you for your recent generous comments which are very much appreciated Michael.

The more they grow up, the more they tug at your heart strings. Beautiful portrait, Michael.

Superb drawing, Michael, great portrait!
