I always love portraits of older people as each line and wrinkle is a character mark Ezio. A lovely portrait.

Thank you, Adele, for your warm comment and appreciation.

I like your drawing. When you say Photoshop, do you alter original?

What a lovely portrait Ezio.

You have given me hope then Ezio ;) A great portrait Ms Selfe is very beautiful.

Thank you, Gudrun, for appreciating my work. As in photography, I'm using Photoshop as an artistic tool like pencils, brushes, rubber, graphite or charcoal powder, etc. In this particular case, to emphasize the beauty of the face I used a graduated fog filter with a specific angular position. As a result (intentional), the face is perfectly in focus while the right areas of the head, hair, neck and thorax are faded-away. So, Photoshop doesn't alter the features of a drawing; what may be different is the “mood”, according to the artistic purposes of the Author.

Carole, send me a recent photo of you and I will try to do a portrait of a timeless creature! Anyway, thank you for compliments

And thank you also to Ellen for her kind words.

Haha, timeless creature I like that Ezio. You could use the one I display on here if you like, my daughter surprised me with this photo as I usually always scowl. Hate having photo taken☹️ This was only last year. Thanks:)
