12:20 - drawing

In a momentary lapse of reason I decided to give my in-laws a drawn portrait as gift. This young lady and her mom are a pain in the ass to draw. I lost count of the attempts I had at them. I almost gave up. To my surprise, her dad came out spot on in no time. The other in-law called these two females 'finicky'. (I hope that's the term meaning picky and difficult).
But she finally turned out acceptable and I am happy.
PS I am right handed, and this selfie is a mirror image (just to stretch our minds).
Brave! but looking good.

Wow, it must be nice to be so talented. Portraits must be quite a challenge I would think

Oh this made me smile....I know a few 'finicky' folk and picky and difficult definitely synonymous 🫣

Finicky is right. Lovely selfie. You’ve captured yourself really well.

It's looking good to me! You are really talented.
December 22nd, 2023  
You’re a very talented lady.

Good on you for not giving up! The portrait looks amazing! Did you use water-soluble graphite and a water brush?

I love this Moni, such concentration and a stunning drawing.

@juliedduncan Yes. You are spot on. I love graphite and when i discovered the water soluble option I was amazed.

@mccarth1 Kerry, with 0 false modesty, it's mostly practice and perseverance. You know, like the joggers who love to jog and do it daily, but never make it to the olympics. I think it's more joy at doing it, than talent.

Nice pic😊

Finicky is the correct word, I know quite a few! As a non - drawer this looks good to me.
