I tried buying someone's talent in a box once. That was a bad investment.

Ah, yes. You never know what kind of talent you're getting when you buy Box Talent.

I wanted to buy electric guitar talent. Little did I realize the talent that it came from was from a man with no arms, or legs, no tongue or teeth, a glass eye, and half an ear.

Needless to say, that's not the right way to play the guitar and I look like an idiot trying.

Ahh the old "practice practice practice" arrgh I wish we COULD just buy talents, or have them put into our brains like in the Matrix movies. I'd go play guitar this very weekend, in that case!!

I don't draw faces in charcoal, it's a medium that's too messy and difficult for me. I'm always impressed when other people can use it, I sure cant!

I lightly draw an outline of whatever it is, then I use a harder lead pencil (such as a 4H) and draw everything in, then I use a softer pencil (such as HB) and start darkening, then I use a very dark pencil (at least 2B, sometimes 6B) and hit the dark darks. Then I go back with an eraser and pick out the white whites. That's about it!

This is beautiful. and that's really nice what you did for the family. And I don't really see any mistakes. I think you did great but i guess the point of view is different from the Artist to the viewer. But i think i can relate. You always want to do your nest but sometimes you just dont have the time. Anyway i think you did great with the time constrant^U^ Good Job!

Lovely work! I'll bet the client adores it, as will the father.
I'm very sorry to hear about the tragedy in your family. I hope you all can support each other to help everyone heal

Gosh I hope her Dad likes it!!! :/
We were all very supportive of each other during the hell at the hospital. A little trouble came after she died... some family members shocked us by being unexpectedly greedy over some estate issues. I'm always horrified when people you thought you knew so well show an ugly side, especially over money. But due to some family (myself included) just gracefully backing down from what was "rightfully" theirs, and giving it over to the people demanding it unfairly, all was finally smoothed over. In my head I kept hearing Princess Leia: "If money is all that you love, then that's what you'll receive." For my part, I would always give all the money in the world just to have the person you loved back in your arms. Since no amount of worldly earthly goods can do that, what's the point of them, really.
