No hands and almost no feet
I really like the black and white portrait above!

I'm not good with feet either.
Thankfully you don't see a lot of them in photos. I am forever grateful to the inventor of the shoe and will be more grateful when they make shoes for hands just as fashionable.

Now that would be a fantastic invention! They could be called something exotic like.... gloves! Or maybe mittens! (rhymes with kittens!)

No, no, no. I demand proper shoes for hands. Maybe even hand boots!
I'll design them myself if I have to.

Great watercolour technique Val and I’m always impressed with your there but not quite there backgrounds like in the nude. Nothing wrong with short legs, at least when they go all the way to the floor!
Here’s my last few from sketchy.
I’m hoping to get something done for the monthly but I’m leaving it till last minute so I don’t overwork it

Some guy and his flower. This second one got another pick from Sktchy.

I wished I could have gone a bit further with that nude pic. It was such a good photo but the necessary minutes had already gone.


I really like the dimness of the reflection in that last pic. I think it's an excellent observation that enhances the realism and the intensity of the light. People (by which I mean me. ) often just use the same colours and values in reflections but doing it this way is sooo much better.

I agree with Val (on the reflection - it's up to him how long he wants to watch nudes...)

Here's my last few. I may have to do something sci fi/fantasy related soon...

Good to know that some people are getting some work done.

*looks at my own stupid cow picture*


Love how you've used the background colour in that middle one. The way it cuts into the face to make the highlights is clever and interesting to look at. Great warmth in the ear too.

But the last one is my favourite of these. The subtle changes in hue from the warmer yellow/browns to that understated blue creates a very convincing image. Excellent work.
