      Totally! I was in Rome last week and my photos are 90% statue-related. And the rest are exquisitely-dressed Italians. My drawing references are sorted for a while!

      It is not. It was drawn freehand using a dip pen and an inkwell, over pencil outlines, from a photo.

        Wow, really clean scan and steady lines.

        I just asked because there was a member who would upload digital paintings and call the water colour. Sorry.

      Thank you! I’ve never been able to do that whole “planes of the face” thing, so I thought I’d half-try it here. It went… okay. Happy overall!

        I think it turned out fabulous! Don’t knock yourself down - high ambitions is great but see the progress you are making. I bet you improve a lot if you look back at earlier works.
