Bit of a Mona Lisa smile don't you think? I like her eyes;-)

I've always preferred faces with more character over contemporary 'beauty', but I'm always too intimidated to put it into my own drawings. You inspire me to try harder to portray my own sense of what is beautiful. Thank you. Again, you have my admiration for your skill, imagination and artistic eye! Lauren is by far my favorite. She is rendered with such warmth that I would want to sit and talk with her, sharing the wisdom reflected in her eyes. Amazing work!

11 Sherman Skip Nodler replies: "Lauren's came out strangely. The Lauren in the drawing could be anywhere from 16 to 500 years old. (She being Elven) I still think there is a Mona Lisa affect here. She came out much better than my skill level. In life she's maybe 20. About the size of a hobbit.Skip"

I totally see the mona lisa smile thing! It looks like she is struggling to keep in laughtor also. I also like the way that you do eyebrows, the way that they turn up at the end is really neat!

I really like this image. The eyes, the facial expression, everything about this picture is amazing. I Love it!! So lifelike; the shading is magnificent, so little, yet it describes so much. I love it. I really like the shading on the lips. This entire piece is excellent.

Wow. This is my fav. And I think you don't need color or anything. Your pictures are fine as they are. They all have a mood which photos never could reflect.

11 Sherman Skip Nodler replies: "Sorry it's taken so long to reply. I've was on a working vacation and this is the first day I've had to sit and go through my list of pics. Thank you for your comments. It so nice to know people enjoy my drawings;-)Skip"

Wow--all of your pictures are amazing, but I have to say that this one is my favourite. Truly stunning, the detail and shading, especially around the eyes. I say again--wow!

12 Sherman Skip Nodler replies: "Thank you for your kind visit. I tried finding your work but was not successful. Do you still have art at Elfwood?Skip"

This one is just gorgeous... She looks like a friend of mine from back in high school. I think she might be plotting some kind of mischief!

:-) Sherman Skip Nodler replies: "Maybe she moved to Alaska ;-)"

Perhaps she did, though last I heard she was in Edmonton. 14

:-) Sherman Skip Nodler replies: "Haven’t seen her for a couple years now. She use to come to contra dances here. "

i love the detail you put in the eyes of all your pieces. but i especially love this one, she looks so real. not just the fact that you have done amazing detailing, but she looks like she has a history too.

:-) Sherman Skip Nodler replies: "I always think if I get the eyes right the rest of the drawing becomes easier. Thanks for the visit. I very much enjoyed your drawings."
