This little fella just begged to be drawn.

Great! I love the little labbie.

Me again. This one is an exercise in using one color to draw.....

Of course I absolutely LOVE this!! Wonderful job Savannah!!

As always...awesome work. You must THINK in color. I believe I THINK in black and white better. I haven't gone back to the color yet.

Thank you so much, Vanesa. I'm really not, but I sure appreciate the beautiful compliment!

Thank you, Amy! That means a lot to me coming from your expert opinion concerning Somewhere in Time!

Thank you, Gin! I'm having fun experimenting in color and in graphite! There's so much to learn, so much to try....And so little time!

Hey how 'bout drawing Laura and Pa?

Could this be more perfect?

Great!!! The likeness is excellent!!!

Vanesa.

Savannah, I don't know how you do it, but you continue to amaze me even more every time you post a new drawing. Remarkable!

Thank you, Pam! I'm such a fan of his, it was a lot of fun to work on. (And it was interesting trying out the different method for the portrait, too!)

You know, I'm not even a John Wayne fan, but I think this may be my favorite. REALLY good Savannah. (This is one you should enter in something, for sure! ).

Thank you, Amy! He's one of my favorite portraits, too!

Wow, that is beautiful, Savannah! You just keep getting better and better.

Thank you, Rob!

After using her photo for a "One hour, one pencil" colored pencil exercise earlier, I decided that I really wanted to draw Jane Seymour as Elise Mckenna in a full graphite portrait. Some of this was drawn by candlelight because of a power outage, and I quickly discovered that candlelight might be romantic-looking, but it's awful for drawing by!

MY NEW FAVORITE.


This is absolutely stunning Savannah. I adore this portrait!!! You even captured her lazy eye! Like Rob said, you truly just get better and better. And I LOVE the idea that you did this by candlelight, considering this IS technically of 'another era'. Exquisite, remarkable, exceptional, and every other positive adjective that is out there. Bravo!!!

Amy, thank you so much! And THANK YOU for mentioning the eye!! I'm not kidding you, it took me what seemed like *forever* to get her eye to where I thought it was just right - so I'm really glad that you think I got it!

You did it wonderfully! When you watch it, you notices at the first glance it's Jane Seymour...Congrats again!

Vanesa.

Thank you, Vanesa!

I've been having a Dr Quinn marathon this afternoon and just love watching Jane in it. What a talented gal she is. And what a wonderful talent you have Savannah. What film is this from?
I love Jane's hair. I love it when Dr Mike's hair is braided into a twist, not a regular braid. Maybe you could draw Dr Mike sometime.

Considering I've seen Somewhere in Time probably 20 times, and that scene being one of my favorites, trust me, you got all of her features, including the eye, perfectly accurate. It really shows that you took your time with this and made sure every single detail was as it should be. And, that 'moment' was so 'key' to the movie---Jane had to really exude all that love that she had for 'Richard' there, just in that one look, and you got it Savannah. Congrats!

Oh Marilyn, I'll be right over to watch with you! DQ marathons are the best!

Amy, right now I am watching the Biography of Jane that is included as bonus features in the Series boxed set. Wow, she has done a lot of work. But I only know her as Dr Mike. Is Somewhere In Time still available anywhere, I need to watch it.

I know, I was shocked at her biography too---she has lived one very full life, that's for sure! Must have been so tragic for her when she couldn't become a prima ballerina....but as they say, God works in mysterious ways!

Here's Somewhere in Time on Amazon! Great price too!

Thanks for the link Amy. I'll have to check it out.

Sorry Savannah, didn't mean to hijack your thread, lol.
