Excellent Denise.

Very well done, Denise!!

It’s a superb sketch Denise and a good demonstration of how your portrait skills have developed over the last few months.

Great Denise .the way to go.

Nice work overall Denise. You could still go a bit darker I feel, I’m talking the shadows of course. Be careful not to add white all over the work… be selective!

Your comments are much appreciated, thanks very much Sarah, David, Paul, Christine, Heather, Sylvia and Alan.

Very impressive progress in your work Denise. You leave no stone unturned. So you deserve all these plaudits you get and good advice from fellow Artists.

Thanks Chris, I an happy with the steady progress being made and I'm always grateful for advice.

This is so good Denise! You should be very proud how you have progressed, all your hard work is evident.

Another excellent life sketch Denise.

While I can see a couple of faults in this drawing - nothing huge, and certainly nothing I wouldn't have got wrong myself - they don't matter, because it catches a character; you can read this face: the only bit that would concern me is the end of his nose; and you could still correct and adjust that. Point is - it works, and that's not just half the battle, it's the whole battle.

Excellent study Denise.

Thanks very much Fiona, George, Robert and Sarah. Robert, the nose, I personally find is the most difficult part of the face to navigate.

Great job Denise!
