Hi Richard,

That sounds like a good idea. I will try and soften her hair a bit. (In real life she likes to wear a helmet head. Enough hair spray to keep her hair from blowing in a SD wind, +70 mph)

Hi John,

I really like how each update improves upon the last, and looks more and more like your lovely Diane.

Hi Richard,

Yes it is about the most time consuming project I have done in quite some time. Most pictures are of the get it done fast type. You know, under four hours start to finish.

This one, I actuially took the time and got it mostly right. Learned alot and think I progessed beyond the coloring book stage.

BTW: Thank you for the encoraging words and time to really look at the drawing.

Bill and Ed,

thanks for the very kind comments. Now I want to draw something else. that is the hard part. Finding something good to draw...

I know what I would like to draw, but I do not think I could get a model to pose for that.

Hello Albacore,

Thanks for the 2 observations. Looking again at the drawing I have to agree with both points. I also need to get here skin a little more definition. Most skin is serval different hues, with blushes, veins and all the rest.

It is a starting point, and further than I have reached before giving up in frustration.

John - I've never xara-drawn a person myself so I feel a little awkward passing on my comments. I find the highlights distracting. It may be that they are too white. That little criticsm made I do highly commend you for what you've achieved with such a intimidating project.

Regards, Ross

Great work John. Looks very much like the photo, only more artistic.
