Thea's challenge - a cheats version

Well done Michael! I wish that I had thought about leaving the eyes out! Lol!

I think these portraits are turning out to have something special about them. The freedom of the method is coming through and I think they are really good in their own right. I like your pared down version and jolly well done for taking the plunge!

Knew you'd succumb Michael, would look great in one of your white mount and black frames. Well done!

lol Michael, closed eyes indeed!! Great fun, just enough line work to indicate the features, clever!

Yes, I was waiting for yours to come Michael! I think that at the end we have all somehow kept our own style even with eyes closed. Your's Michael is very much like your simple drawings and Thea's is like her pen& washes. Quite fascinating.

Direct me to your challenge Thea? I can't find where it started, and yet am anxious to meet it!

My first thoughts on seeing the thumbnail of this was "Michael's done a selfie", so I guess that's an achievement, especially if your eyes were closed ;)

Done with your eyes closed Michael? well done indeed!! lol

You are a real man, Michael. My one-liner just looks like a man - or two.
