While I was on the plane I indulged in a little sketching, and this was the result. Not sherlock but a Benedict all the same!

Oh wow ... definitely ... wow ... I have to have a look in here more often.

So glad you like gently! Working on a Molly Hoope at the moment, it's not going brilliantly owing to the lack of a HQ photo to work from!

And then it's khan....

I really wish I could post something as impressive as Clare's drawings, but unfortunately, it's completely out of my reach!

I brought a new sketchbook and pencils the other day and thought I'd try them out, and did a little Mary Watson sketch.

Rebecca, you are a coward!!

Is this because I never did a face?

I'm sorry, I just that skilled enough, waaaah.

It's ok Rebecca I'm pretty sure Mattlocked is joking lol!

But you should try your faces, I know you can do it! X

I love your picture, Rebecca, and I thought you had left out the face on purpose. Like, showing how we do not know Mary. IMO it's wonderful the way it is.

Thank you.

I do hope to do faces one day, but every time I try, it's messes up and I just give up. Clare, that Skype session is desperately needed when you're back off holiday!

That is so beautiful, Rebecca! You're very talented!!

Never give up on the faces, keep trying and I know you can get there! And I also thought it was on purpose!

Thank you for sharing, I always love looking at amazing art!

Thank you, Phantom.

If you look were to look through my portfolio, you'd see that when I first started drawing, all the portraits had no faces, and most of the time I did them on purpose, it sort of became my style, as you could say.

My drawing style then completely changed, specialising in manga/anime, but now I want to try and go back to my original, and make them more realistic, but it's not working!!

In my opinion a very good drawing.

That's awesome!!!

Right, here's my first attempt at a Molly Hooper - I'm not very good at profiles....

I love that, Clare! Brilliant result after it being your first girl drawing!!

Molly!

Your manga pieces are super cute, Rebecca!

Wow Clare, that is such a beautiful drawing of Molly! There's something about your drawing that reminds me of a photograph. They are so very detailed! A true artist!

Rebecca, I love your Mary - it has a really "happy" feel to it, even without facial features, if that makes sense.
And wow, again Clare! I'm running out of words to describe how impressive you are - you need to be doing this full time!

I'm back again....with a Sherlock!
