not a fan of his music, but this is a great portrait
Artist Reply: Hey, Carl! You've got some really great images at your place, too, and thank you! That's okay, about not being a fan, because here, it's about what we do. :))
carliss your pencilwork is stunning!! I love your Clay portraits I'm a big fan of his music :) beautiful work!
Artist Reply: Katerina, I'm happy you get some enjoyment from looking at my work. It's been fun here, where I can see others' work too. I don't plan to lose as much time as I did before, not keeping up with one of my favorite things to do. Thanks so much!!!!
Your favorite subject and now you have perfected your drawing to where it is photographic in its realism and great job Carliss
Artist Reply: Mark, it's great to hear from you again! Thanks, much, for writing how the latest pic of him appears to you. I appreciate that very much.

You have brought him to life with your pencil Carliss!
His eyes are gorgeous and the tones...excellent work!
Artist Reply: V! How can I thank you enough for your comment? I can't, I don't think, because we pencils people, are always in awe of another's work, and we look to one another for support in some ways because we share the knowledge, and at times the frustration of what goes into these artworks! Your work is masterful, and again, I'm thanking you with all my sincerity!!
Artist Reply: Nancy, I am so proud that you think highly of this portrait. I am thanking you too, for stopping by to comment, and I want you to know I appreciate your input. Thanks, again!!!

Unwaivering image!!! Great contrast and overall unity
Artist Reply: My Anonymous Guest, I am blessed with your comment, and so wish I knew the name of someone who does not want me to know who you are, but feel compelled to comment, despite it. Thanks so much!!
Love it, love it, love it, love it, love it! I am so excited by the differences and improvemnents I see. You have taken a gorgours little sketch and turned it into an amazing portrait! Dang you're good! The eyes are so spot on. And I have to resist the temptation to run my finger across that lower lip, the shading has added sucha nice dimension. Thanks for doing this one again....: )

Wonderful pencil drawing. I thought this was a photograph. If I could draw like that I would be the proudest man in the world. Great stuff.
Artist Reply: Thank you, Frank! If I could paint like you, I would be one of the proudest women. I thoroughly enjoy your paintings.

This is my favorite and I don't know why. He jumps right out of the drawing as if he is looking at me or whoever is viewing it. Those eyes are just wonderful and I say it again that you capture his face so beautifully. Jackie
Artist Reply: Well Jackie, I see you came back. I wanted to replace the earlier one with this, but I kept getting kicked out of the editing page. Thanks for commenting, and coming back, because I truly do feel that this version is an improvement over the 2005 version. So happy you like it, better!
Artist Reply: Debbie, thanks!! You just saved this drawing. I was just about to delete it since no one was commenting! I appreciate your interest very much.
