1. Wow, Billy!

Techinically speaking alone, that seems to be your best one so far. (I'm sure I've missed some tho!) :hi:

[billyskank]

2. Thanks

I think it is my best yet. It was the most challenging, maybe even harder than the one of jane_pippin I did.

BTW the original photograph is here:

She is more beautiful than my drawing shows, I think.

a greyscale version of the original. That was the first thing I thought when I saw it and I had seen the origianl the other night. Great job!

Cute as all get out and talented, too. ;)
