This group of drawings is so outstanding. i admit that I prefer to see a larger model but take that away and had you used the same line, capturing of expression and gesture, and capturing of form...I would still very much admire these drawings.

big models are more interesting then the thin ones!
it might be that i say the vice versa when i see to thin model!
i like the way you draw her butt and hips!

I agree - one model that pops up is very pixie, has sweet lines and face, perfect little figure - and I find it almost impossible to draw or paint her. Our imperfections are what make us real, and draw out our characters.

i got different approach as you can ee in my paintings. i preffer to paint and correct imperfections, and dont ask me why. i sepose i am like that in daily life...like to see the nice things, and turn my face when its not!

I love your work Hanna, and you certainly do still show the little things that make us (or you and your mom) the people you are. I think I used the wrong word 'imperfections' (which I guess has an implication of being bad or ugly), rather I meant something like ideocentricies, little deviations from the steriotypically perfect (like the little mole on Marilyn Monroe's face, or small facial assymetries we all have, or in the case of my model Michelle, zoftig body type) that make us unique. Only if I sense an ugliness inside someone, would I deliberately try to show it (actually, I would probably not want to paint that person). B

now your explaination sounds better. i understud before that you preffer to paint evry thing that is not looking normal, or ugly things.
you are smart barrie!
i hade to paint ones a commision work. a big portrait of some one. in canvas size 100x150 cm . the reference was a photo. his girl friend asked me to paint him. she wanted to give him this as a gift.
and i did not like him, even i dont know him. but he hade something arrogant in his face.
i have painted him with my negative feelings to him.
and the funny thing was, that his girl friend said that i captured his character in the portrait.

Yes, isn't it funny how we make strong judgements based on initial appearance - I guess this is both good (like when you get an instant feeling that you and another will really click) and when you learn that someone who you took an instant dislike (or like to) to is, in fact, the opposite.

true!
happen to me already many times.
when we meet new people we shourly feels from begining if we like them or not, based on inital appearance. and after talking with them its might change.
i know that my judgement is not right, because i did got the wrong judgement so many times.
