Well, here it is....finished....I gave the very best that I am at this time capable of. This portrait was a valuable learning experience for me and hopefully some of you can draw inspiration from it. I might touch it up in a few days once I look at it with fresh eyes. ;o )

I love it! It turned out extremely well! :)
It's amazing, Christine! *You're* amazing! I just can't find the words to do you and this work of art justice.
Beautifully done. The eyes are exceptional.
Thank you all!
Melissa, happy belated birthday...I am so glad you like the portrait. It's not 100%, but still a decent likeness. Enjoy!! :o )
I'll get it to you soon.
Christine! This turned out absolutely awesome! His eyes just sparkle and you've definitely captured that impish grin!
Congratulations on a job well done!
An amazing portrait, Christine! Love your work! ;)
I appreciate your kind words, Jan!

Thank you Sonia for stopping by and commenting! :)
Oh Christine, what a beautiful portrait. You do such fantastic work with your skin tones. Such delicacy and detail in the eyebrows! Drawing a face at this angle isn't easy and you have done a fabulous job!! You make doing a mouth with that shape look easy. :-) A perfect nose and such lovely eyes. Congratulations, this is fabulous!
Great work! I noticed how much detail you put into the stitches on his shirt...not something I would probably have the patience for, haha. Such a cute portrait!
Teresa, thank you so very much ! You are to kind and always generous with praise. I truly appreciate it always!! :o )
Thank you for noticing, Kelly! Yes, the stitches took a little while to do, but not so bad. ;o )
the very best of a very best graphite artist, Christine!
Sorry to be late with my comment Christine. I have been visiting family.
Wonderful portrait. There is so much character captured here. He is gorgeous. Love those eyes. Great job.
Hi Elena, awww your words make me blush. There is still so much to learn and at times I do not feel as good as you described me here. But I thank you for your kind words! ;o ))
It's quite alright Dors...there is no law that says you always have to comment. ;o )
I am glad you are back, but also that you got a chance to see your dear ones.
Vic, don't know if you'll read this, but I have been wanting to comment on your blog several times but seem to have problems. Your blog is not the only one my posts don't show up....wonder what the problem is?? Anyway, love your kitty! Great job!
This baby portrait is more than lovely, Christine :)
Congratulations, and also for your award, that's awsome!
Best regards,
