I like how you have done this really good portrait Denise , it’s excellent. The white highlights add so much, and it’s such a vast improvement on your previous portraits.

A very likeable portrait!

Doing them often ( well all art really) is paying off. What a difference now to how your early portraits were, Denise.

Thanks very much Paul, Christine, Heather, Stephen, David and Marjorie. I know portraits aren't my thing but I still want to work towards producing something that's fair rather than a mess and I've started to enjoy it rather than dread it.

I agree with Paul great highlights on this especially the one on her eye lid, they bring her face to life.

If I see an interesting face, I'm going to try and do it as I know in order to get my portraits better, I have to actually do lot's of practice, so I plan to do a face that catches my eye, at least once a week, while I'm doing my other things. I might do two if I get chance. This is done in charcoal.
