Just a quick update to say Hi, thanks and yahoo :)

What a month for drawing April was, apart from the enormous response to my drawing 'Running Water' 
Two other enormous things happend to me on DA, firstly I finally achieved a 'fave' from one of the people I most admire on DA - the great the wonderful, the inspirational Franco [link] whilst this may not sound very exciting or 'big' to anyone else, for me it was an enormous accolade.  His work has inspired me to keep trying to improve and without his masterful pieces im not sure i would still be drawing - you all know him but, but if there is anyone left on DA that doesn't know his work - check it out :) 

The 2nd thing that happened to me on DA, was that I sold a print from one of my drawings :) Again maybe not monumental for most, but for me this was the 1st time anyone was willing to spare some hard earned cash and actually buy something I had produced. Thanks again to  Sharlene [link] for buying a print of my drawing 

So now we are into May, I dont think I can top April, but I do have some nice drawings underway, and im looking forward to finishing them soon. I want to continue to draw portraits and will be concentrating on that for a few weeks, but promise to throw in the odd water drawing also :)

The first submissions for May, let me know what you think :)

Your portraits are extremely moving. Not only are they technically very well executed, but they move me as a viewer. Each one seems to tall a story, and I find myself just looking at them for a long while. You do excellent work. I am very impressed!

Your comments are extremely kind, I love drawing portraits, especially young children. I am captured by there eyes and try to capture some of their innocence in my drawings - I have two drawings of children underway, I believe they are the most moving ones I have done - so I hope you stop by in the next couple of weeks to let me have your opinion - thanks for commenting :)

Your joking right? Your work is awesome, so crisp, and precise. I love how clean and smooth you keep your drawings, they look extremely professional and very saleable - with more exposure people will be fighting each other to watch you - the honor is all mine :)
