What a fab pose and a great portrait

Excellent portrait, super colours John.

It’s a superb portrait, I particularly like the hand it’s really well drawn .

I like this very much, so well drawn.

Great pose and a superb drawing John.

I like this, that hand is exceptional !

Interesting pose John, the hand is superbly drawn

Excellent John. I tried to copy that pose but, sadly, my arm refused!

“Hand over head”. Sounds like what Salome would have said! But it makes for a very interesting drawing and reminded me to get more Derwent drawing pencils. The black is the best darkest black you can get. Wonderful drawing, especially the hand and highlights on the face.

Superb portrait John, exquisitely painted.

Thank you POL folks for your interesting comment's which are very much appreciated.

Great pose and hand is very well drawn.

A great portrait and the hand is so good.

Lots of form to this John, super

I like the unusual pose John, beautifully executed.

An unusual pose John so well executed. How about head over heels next 😊😉

A difficult pose, you have drawn this so very well John

The paper and palette complement each other perfectly and I like the use of the green circle to tie it all together.

Good pose, makes this portrait so interesting John.

A4 on Cappuccino sketchbook 120 g/m manufactured by Hahnemuhle. The colour of the paper goes perfectly with the earthly colour pencils I recently purchased, Dewent Drawing they call them. I thought the arm over the head in the reference was unusual and I like putting the hands in.
