No Laughing.

Comments

Not laughing at all - this could quite easily pass as a stylized painting by a modern master, whose works we don't necessarily expect to be anatomically accurate. AND - the ear's the right size!

Well, I'm amazed Robert, thanks, I have been paying particular attention to ears, in fact, every portrait that comes on, I'm studying the ears.

I totally agree with Robert , and would add that it’s really quite amazing due to your just attempting portrait’s. The use of colours has definitely given it that modern look as dies the style, beautifully done Denise.

Well done Denise, you have a real flare.

I know what you mean about necks and clavicles, something very paintable about them, good one Denise

Well I think this is pretty good Denise. Sign it with another name and you could make millions!

You can if you want. I must say, I have never drawn any of the human anatomy before but the past couple of days, I've been specifically looking at necks and clavicles. Since I haven't had my palette knives out for a while, I tried a bit of practice and did this. I know it's out of proportion but It is a first attempt from imagination.
