Hi Mr. Eighty, I wanted to let you know I have been looking through your thread start from page 1 and now only up to 107 pages. Your portrait live sketch on bus tells so much about "people" and what you "see". It's very very "full" to read and look at your thread. I was thinking to finish all over 450 pages before I can know what to write and let you know you have inspired me your spirit at your age on doing such wonderful art in your life. It's full of energy in all these sketch you draw. I really love to read your thread.


p.s. I used 3 days just read up to 107 pages, guess I have to keep it up with your new sketches too. I even made notes on some of the sketches you made and your words described them.

Very detailed, Mr Ploos.

Regardless of how you got it, it's clearly squeezing the photo for visual information, which is a good way to follow the road map to learn the "delivery route" to get it to look like individual people. It shows what are the facial characteristic bits and amount of emphasis in each area that make up parts of the heads and the character in each showing a comparison in age. Crows feet, teeth, hair, expression, etc vs the comparative straight ahead blank slate of the infant. But they both show joy, just in different age appropriate manners.

That's all great warming up for your coming bus rides when you want to enhance the brilliant sketch portraits you do when oot and aboot with your pad and pencil.

Great to see you branching out with the program, like a miner what's found ore.
