I like that -- very colourful! She looks happier/perkier in your digital version!

Your singing, guitar playing friend seems to be missing a finger on his right hand.

thank you. yes, making alterations is always a gamble, and only sometimes does it pay off. an artistic version of a photo does not need to be accurate; and perhaps it's better if it is not?

>Your singing, guitar playing friend seems to be missing a finger on his right hand.

you have a good eye. the original photo employed (since deleted) had already been cropped above the fingers, so not enough thought was given to completing that hand. after a clumsy adjustment with photoshop, we will just have to assume a plectrum is being held by his (hidden) thumb and index finger. anyway, anything that encourages interest is positive

G, nice mix of drawings over the past few weeks, I find that I enjoy the variation.

Here is an assignment, should you wish to take it on: Can you draw your interpretation of the narrator of Leonard's song "Avalanche"? And maybe as a follow-up, draw your interpretation of who the narrator is speaking to. Why have I selected this song? "Avalanche" is the first Cohen song I ever listened to, and it was the magnet that drew me into experiencing his body of work over all these years.

Best.
