It’s more challenging to attempt some kind of expression than to draw a simply placid, pleasant, symmetrical face.
This could be the concentration it takes to whistle, or to pucker up on New Years Eve, but the fact that her eyebrow is raised and the other side of her face is frowning suggests skepticism to me. (Really? You seriously think I’m buying this? Nooooo……)
Our tv guy is here. The sun is shining. I’m off to see my ENT doctor this afternoon to give him this look if he still doesn’t know what’s up with my immune system. Just another manic Monday.
By the way, I do have the peculiar talent of being able to raise my left eyebrow independently of the right. The right eyebrow though won’t do anything on its own.
Have a write- happy day.
I’ve been meaning to comment for weeks.
You are terrifically talented. You could do family portraits or dysfunctional family portraits or whatever and people would paaaaaay you. But then it’s not fun, it’s work, but your ability to capture the spirit and energy of a person is insane. Truly amazing.
I can move both my eyebrows independent of one another. I can see-saw them. It’s a curse.

Thanks Molly. I know what you mean about work vs. fun. Right now it’s awesome fun. Until I can no longer afford art supplies. 😄

I don’t know. Got a book you want illustrated?? I don’t take directions very well, so there’s that. 😄

I’ve been in a shameless self-linking mood: At the bottom of this post on one of my orphink sub-bloggits, there’s what I think is a highly-marketable children’s book idea for which your drawing style in this post would be perfect.

Thanks! (You didn’t mean the fife one…? ; )
So– Is that a yes? I would have to (Yay! GET to!) donate any profits I might reap to charity, or at least the bulk of them (I’ll post about that), but you could donate any winnings to grape and leadfoot “juices” and your grandkids : )
