I started reading it and doing the assignments at the same time I started my art class. <br />I don't think I would be making this kind of progress if I was only taking the art classes; sadly, I find the teacher disinterested and distracted, so I'm grateful for being told about Betty's book.<br /><br />Yes, Matthew does have a "pretty face" I found it less difficult than drawing the first fellow, Ewan McGregor. I didn't recognize either when the sheets were handed out. I thought the second was Kiefer Sutherland!

One lady commented it must be because we are the older set and therefore not with it enough to recognize these young stars.<br /><br />The first is Ewan McGregor and the second is Matthew McConaughey. <br /><br />In such a short time period it is hard to really set down the features to have a reasonable comparison...but I will continue working on them as practice.

Your project also seems like it's shaping up nicely, I adore the job you've done with those pretty eyes. You really can see warmth, beauty, kindness and so many good things in those eyes and they've been perfectly conveyed in the drawing, the drawn eyes are so wonderful and show that love and kindess perfectly, genuinely finding it hard to express how much I adore them right now, beautiful, simply beautiful!Outcasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03400755239612162157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9889100.post-29335073026725017182012-11-08T02:11:27.014-08:002012-11-08T02:11:27.014-08:00Unfinished project...oh yeah.
