thanks, panta...
I like the idea of capturing both features and mood (as you did so well with "Inner Woman". My sketches are taken from an album cover and "liner notes".... images chosen for the challenge they presented in portraying the subject's mood/expression.
My sister is a talented painter who is just now beginning to get some art show exposure. She works in oil and focuses on classic portraiture, with painstaking attention to detail and mood, including the "mood" of each background, by means of secondary images/imagery and darkness underpinning light.... Maybe some day, I'll try to post some of her work.
Oops.... almost forgot my sketch of Burning Spear....
