Sketch by Denise Cat

A portrait sketched with such sensitivity Denise. There is so much going on behind those expressive eyes.

Excellent drawing as ever Denise. I like the strong darks you’ve achieved with the charcoal.

Very nice , you are so good at portraits.

Excellent sketching Denise.

Great sketch Denise. Which charcoal do you use to get those strong darks?

Great sketch, Denise.

Very attractive lady Denise, good contrasts.

So good Denise

A very powerful image Denise, one of your best!

Powerful portrait Denise.

I can only agree, lovely work !!

Thanks for your kind comments Carole, Lewis, Paul, Stephen, Russell, Jenny, Carole, Rachel, Alan, John and Valerie. Russell for really dark darks I recommend the Nitram demi batons De Saule 25 mm. That's what I use for any large areas. For small areas the 5 mm square batons that you can sharpen to a point. B + gives you your deepest darks.

She looks like Amy Winehouse….?

No not Amy Marjorie. Many thanks George, Hilary, Roger, Val and Romila.

Beautiful sketch Denise, with intense expression.

I think it was the intense darks which made me think it might be A. It’s very dramatic and very well done.

Fantastic tones and lines Denise

Thanks very much Cesare, Marjorie and Martin.
