Comments by the artist

This is a nice portrait study. This time I sat very close to the model so I was able to see a lot more detail then normal. It really makes a difference when you can see what you are trying to draw.

If you look closely you can see horizontal lines evenly spaced across the page, this was a pattern in the paper itself. I prefer not to use paper with lines such as this because it can ruin a picture, however I had no choice this time because I left my good paper at home and had to borrow some.
