Erin is the second I met of the Elven folk. I didn't get the eyes right. I'll just have to try again someday.

I just adore this - and its NOT cause my own daughter is called Erin.......what a fantastic picture!!!!

"YEAh what?"

That ear. It is the best part of the picture. I'd add more highlights in her eyes and a shadow from her upper lid over the eye-apple, and maybe deeper shadows on the hair, but I'd never manage to create sucha wonderful expression.

Faces on your pictures look just so right and alive.

I think the eyes themselves are fine, indeed they're one of the strengths of this portrait! You have a wonderful, natural style. I would only suggest some additional highlights both in the hair and the iris - just points of light that you've already indicated should be there, from the sheen of the skin.

Lovely work.

Her eyes are so far seeing, her expression is that of inquisitiveness. Such a pure face that is drawn fantastically.

She's so. . .peaceful 1 (I'm not even going to say BEAUTIFUL because it's so self evident ^^) I looove her eyebrows and her mouth and ear! They are absolutely lovely.

11 Sherman Skip Nodler replies: "Thanks for visiting. She was maybe the second Elve I'd drawn. After giving her the drawing I had a dream where she came to me with a hat on and a very sad look. She took off the hat and her ears were now like the drawing. In the dream I decided the only way to fix things was to draw everybody else in the world with pointy ears so she wouldn't be the only one. Fortunatly I woke up before I started drawing milions of people. That would have been a nightmare. Skip "

She looks like she is listening to some old elven story, really love her eyes, and that ear is the best elven ear ever! 2

HOLY! You've only been drawing a year? Well, maybe more now since you last posted/and or joined. I wish I could draw as well as you in a year O.o LOL That is the most beautiful elf ear I've ever seen! ^.^ 2 It's perfect, in fact I see no flaws what so ever in this picture....It's wonderful! Thanks for commenting on My Innovindil btw ^.^

11 Sherman Skip Nodler replies: "Thank you for returning the visit. I miss drawing. My job situation isn't leaving me the time to draw.Sigh! I really enjoy your drawings.Skip"

Amazing feeling. She has "old soul" eyes. Older than her true age. Your shading is magnificent!

12 Sherman Skip Nodler replies: "Thank you again. Eyes I often think are the most important part of people drawing. The better I get the eyes the better I like the drawing.Skip"
26 Mar 2007:-) Louisa Watson
This is a really beautiful portrait! I especially love the shading!

:-) Sherman Skip Nodler replies: "Thank you for the return visit. Glad you you had a good visit.ake care, Skip"
