Lol, I'll give it a go when I feel confident, I might test a few pieces out first lol. Like facial hair, scary to try for first time

Very lovely work, A! You do such wonderful pencils!
I'm curious about the freckles on her lips; do some people actually freckle there?

Wow! They look so real! I would have been so afraid to draw them. Again your technical skills blow me away

I'm not going to lie to you. I was afraid to draw them. I never have. But I gritted my teeth and looked at other people's freckle art and came up with some thoughts of my own and just tried it. I think it looks okay, I think I could have done far better had her face not been so shaded and soft - as you know I love details when I'm drawing a portrait but I seldom get it from anyone but YOU, good photog that you are! It was more time consuming than drawing a regular face, but now I'm not scared of freckles any more.

Very well done indeed

That WAS a great quote! I think you'd do GREAT with freckles. Try it, it's not so bad, I found it fun after I got into it!

I love faces with freckles and you did a very good job on this.
I remember in germany a little girl who had so much freckles and didn't liked them at all and hated herself
Well long story short ... I told her this : A Face without freckles is a sky without stars
Now she loves every freckle on her
