This is just too ool - love the reflection in the glasses
Artist Reply: Fiona, thank you!! It was my 4th time trying to do glasses. I decided this was the one I would try my best to make believable in a realistic way.
Your talents for shading and blending are remarkable. They are so effective in giving detail and expression. Good work capturing the reflection on the glasses, I imagine this is difficult to do. You are very gifted and I admire how you can replicate a full smile - many have difficulty with this without making the subject look "toothy".
Artist Reply: Hi, Sally! Love the detail in your comment, as well! Thanks, so much, because it really helps me to improve!!

The image is quite nice, however, I also find your blog to be quite moving...Keep well.
Artist Reply: Hah! Well, at least two people have read it now. I get too wordy, and too personal I think, but I didn't think about that at the time. It's just how I felt at that time. I'm thanking you for your comment, and letting me know how you felt about the blog!!!
Artist Reply: Steve, thank you! And, isn't that the truth? I didn't want to believe it, but, long lives are not promised to any of us. Such a huge loss. I was set to hear that voice for a long time to come. As I'm sure many were.
Carliss, your talents continue to amaze me. This is absolutely fantastic! The glare on the glasses is just perfect. Everything is just marvelous!
Artist Reply: A hearty thanks to you, Ginger! Those glasses' frames should have been better. Hopefully, though, I will learn from it. I am so glad that you like this image.
Wow,Carliss just when I thought you could not get any better and then you go and do this;GRAND BRILLIANT OUTSTANDING PENCIL ART!!!Bravo!!!:)
Artist Reply: Dee, your comment has let me know that, perhaps, I have turned another corner toward the level where I would be satisfied with my work. Thanks so much, each and every time you have commented!!
Hey, WOW! This is amazing Carliss! Move over Clay, Levert is in the HOUSE!! The glasses look like GLASS! GREAT light. LOVE the smile, and the TEETH. THIS IS BANANERS!!! I'm pretty sure he's from my old town, Cleveland, Aint it, Carliss?
M A S T E R P I E C E!!!
Artist Reply: My friend, Janet! Levert's in the HOUSE!! Ha!ha! So funny. You made me LMAO! Well, not quite enough of it. Thank you for telling about the glasses, and teeth! And yes, I believe he is from there, at least I know his father is!!! Janet's in the HOUSE! Ain't it?
Artist Reply: I am trying to get better, and better! I slack sometimes, but I kept putting this one off because I was afraid. Didn't want it to look like I shouldn't have taken in on, you know?
My new favorite. Your are getting better and better on everyone you do.
Artist Reply: Penny, I need to keep track of your favorites!!!!
Thanks, however, for viewing and commenting regardless of how many favorites! I'm just kidding, anyway, so I hope you keep finding them!!
