Thank you so much and I deeply appreciate your readership. A photographer let me draw one of his models but, sadly, I don't think he comes on here anymore. Regardless, it was a pleasure to draw.

Whenever an artist of your caliber makes such a statement, I have to double-check and make sure you're talking to me.
Thank you!

Thank you, although, to be honest, I don't think I'm all that great. There are so many people on DA who could eat me alive.

This is a departure from your usual work and a superb photo realistic portrait. Way to change it up and show your range!

Thanks, Stefanie, for the fave and the kind words.
Personally, I prefer Nic's original and don't think my drawing holds up to it, but I truly appreciate your comment.

I appreciate the fave, too.

Thanks, Richard! It was the hair that took me the longest to do. All those strands...whew.

I know what you mean. There are some artists who draw hair so realistically, you could almost reach out and feel it.

I like how you gave her features your style. Makes it a very interesting portrait. Likeness is not perfect but she's still very recognisable.

Thank you for the critique. It's quite true that nobody would mistake this image for a photograph and I think I made her face a bit more squished than the original, but it was a fun challenge to draw.

if I had a hat I would lift it.. great work Zac.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't have a hat either, but, really, the hat lifting belongs to you. I'm deadly serious about this, but my drawing is a pale copy of your original image. Once more, I must say I'm very grateful for you letting me draw from your photo.

anytime... if you ever want/need an image as a reference, let me know.

I'll definitely have to take up that offer at some point (and thank you). It's too good to resist.
