Very sweet! She certainly has the right jumper on. 🤣

I think this is really beautiful Marjorie.

Posted by Denise Cat on Sun 03 Dec 17:25:40

Ah, thank you both! Enjoyable because it’s who it is, frustrating because the paper wouldn’t play ball!😵‍💫😁

How delightful!

So sweet and beautifully done!

Despite the paper, this is just adorable Marjorie. I love how you have faded out the bottom and her look of concentration. Superb work.

Posted by Carole Kelly on Sun 03 Dec 17:51:06

Hope she got through. It s lovely Marjorie.

Posted by Sylvia Evans on Sun 03 Dec 17:51:44

Christine, Anne, Carole and Sylv - muchas gracias! Sylvia - doubt it…. the back of the head isn’t a great place to speak from….

Her jumper says it all! So cute and a wonderful drawing.

The facial expression comes across well.

Glorious, so good Marjorie

Lovely sensitive work Marjorie with the girl centre stage.

Posted by Willie Drea on Mon 04 Dec 09:55:32

If the paper isn't great, it's certainly showcasing your skill, Marjorie - it's a gorgeous piece! Love the tonal work and the lovely rendering of textures. Most of all, you've captured so much personality and sass!

A lovely moment well captured

I do appreciate all these comments you’ve given me. Thank you everyone.

Posted by Marjorie Firth on Mon 04 Dec 15:06:07

I like the paper! The fact that the "tooth" shows adds something to your lovely drawing.

Posted by Bobbie Matulja on Mon 04 Dec 16:07:15

Thank you Bobby but it was really hard to lay on deep tones. So far, I like the grey Strathmore but I’ve just used pen and ink or charcoal on it.

Posted by Marjorie Firth on Mon 04 Dec 16:15:22

Sorry - Bobbie.

Posted by Marjorie Firth on Mon 04 Dec 16:16:29

Beautifully done Marjorie.
