Through The Fire by David Foster- Chaka Khan II

Francis Rivera always comments, as many other artists do on my work. But, she mentioned that she would like to see more drawings of Chaka Khan. I was only more than happy to do more. I think Chaka is a more than magnificent singer. Any one else who does not know her, may want to go to YouTube, and check her out. There are old videos of her, and her most recent ones. Now if you think she yells too much or has a big mouth, then I can think of no better reason to yell or to have one. She puts her heart into her songs. She's probably sung those songs thousands of times, so of course when she performs live, she's going to change up a few things, on occasion. If you buy her music it will be a bit different for the recording studio. You'll love her voice. I did not know David Foster wrote Chaka's "Trough The Fire." No wonder he is so respected in the music industry. This song is one of the top 15 of my favorite songs that Chaka Kahn sings. Hope you like her portrait, and if you listen, I hope you like that too. Hi Francis!!

all of your artwork is amazing... I couldn't decide which one to comment on!! This one is great... she's such a pretty lady. The only thing I've seen her on is a music video that came on when I was a kid of "Bring Me A Higher Love" haha... I was always amazed at how much hair she had. Good song :) Great drawing!!

Really nice use of pencils; strong and yet gentle enough for a great portrait. Really lively looking expression on her face. Very nice work!

Artist Reply: Titta, I could not have asked for as more succinct, and excellent comment. Thank you many times over!!!!!

I LOVE HER CARLISS SHES BEAUTIFUL, JUST LIKE ALL OF YOUR WORK

Artist Reply: Debbie, how have you been lately? Thanks for your great comment, and I really admire your perseverance with your artwork!!!

Mark Peterson 01 Jul 2007

A beautiful lady Carliss...and I love that action you do in the hair...I would love to see more of that in the rest of the piece, such as under the chin and on her clothing. I think it would really enhance your style.

Artist Reply: Thank you, Mark! Glad you like the hair action. Since the photo didn't have hair in the areas you mention, at least what I could see, I didn't include more hair. But, if anyone knows her, they know that that is usually how she wears it. Everywhere! lol! Perhaps I will add more when my hand gets a rest. :-))

YOU JUST KEEPING BETTER AND BETTER. VERY NICE

annette steens 01 Jul 2007

very nice Carliss! I was thinking about Sophia Loren when I saw the face for the firts time you draw her! I am sorry!!!! She looks like her on this shot Chaka is a wellknown singer and you did her very wonderful!!

Artist Reply: Annette, you're right. There is a strong resemblance in this portrait! It would be easy to mistake her for Sophia. Whether Sophia or Chaka it's the same. They are both beautiful, and someone who draws just has to try. Thank you so much!!!!
