I will keep drawing & with the help of the Virtual instructor & the community improve more over time. ---

THANK YOU! I am. It’s funny, when I started the girl with the flower, I did not think it was going to be any good. ---

You did an amazing job on this project. I remember doing this one. Mine did not turn out so nice at all. I do not think portraits are my thing!! Although, I may be inspired to finish one I have set aside one of these days. Thanks for sharing, as June said, you are very talented. Also, Happy Birthday! Teri ---

Isn’t it great at how that old saw “practice makes perfect” works? What a difference between the two drawings. You should be proud. ---
