A portrait of my cousin. The face is actually from an older illustration that I went back to and made it better. Everything else is new. I like it

Wow Bob,

She's wonderful. Tell me you didn't draw every line in the woolly sweater? It looks so soft and cuddly.

Great stuff.

Hey Bob, I love your work. The way you handle texture, atmosphere & color is something to be admired.

The only thing though is that the chin seems out of skew. I do party caricatures on a regular basis so I speak from experience. Usuially from the angle you drew the face the eye tends to be a bit more horizontal on the bottom lid.
Please don't take this wrong, I feel really funny doing or saying anything at all but an old saying comes to mind. "Wounds from a friend are better than kisses from an enemy".

Thanks wW, I really appreciate your thoughts. Thanks to you too, Carol & Rian

To be honest, I thought some things seemed slightly off, but at the same time, seemed good enough. I didn't know that about the eyes though. I did adjust them a bit, not as much as you illustrated though.

I adjusted the chin and eyes. Moved her whole left eye in more and added a little more hair to the side of her face. The left cheek bone shadow is a bit smaller too. I think she came out of surgery quite well.

I used the trick of flipping the image to make adjustments.

The sweater? There is a base shape below for the body and one for the collar. On top, a whole bunch of little lines each drawn in with the use of a tablet. I created a colour for the sweater and the lines are different shades of that colour.

I did draw every line All 3,990 Doesn't take as long as it may look.

Thanks

Great Bob ... you inspire us all!

And... since I create and name colours in my drawings, hair, lips, sweater, eyes... The different tints & shades are also linked to it's parent colour.

So, when I change the parent colour, the tints and shades adjust as well. You can create different looks in seconds.

I like the blue eyed one better. The blue haired one... naw.... Way too cartoonish. Reminds me of the blue haired superheroes of my youth...

Love the sweater tho...
