Excellent Mr Ploos! You're picking up on the styles really well. Seeing all the different characteristics of the various portraits is a jolly good exercise of the visual muscles. Noothin' quite like a boos ride through the artists quarter for finding people what are exercising their right to Style.

You really do have a knack for this. You sure this ain't your old stompin' grounds? Just be careful not to put your hands through the windows of the boos when it's movin', laddie. One of the artists may snatch your pencil.

Really though, you seem to be getting quite fluent in these styles. They are looking quite great and distinct, each one! And what is more, these styles are so personal that you have lots of latitude for creativity and deviation from the norm. But this boos is always on track. Go man GO!!!!!!!!!

I don't know the whole law. I think that it's fine to use it for the purposes of education and for amateur fun. Artists have been copying artists for time out of mind. If you're selling them, that may be another story. It's probably a good idea in general to cite the original artist. Beyond that, learn away, lad.

Musicians learn by playing the songs of other artists, copying chops and all that. Could you imagine if a student was forbidden to play Chopin? I don't even know if professionals have to pay somebody to use the music of the classical artists.

Build them chops. Steal the techniques all you want and apply them to your own stuff. That's where you want to go anyway eventually. Expressionism is really easy to assimilate someone's style. Just look at a painting and apply it to another image -- like one of your own sketches. You're half way there anyway with those because you grab a face through your own impression of the person you're sketching, rather than a photographic representation. Just add wackiness to it -- go mad with colors etc.

HAVE FUN LADDIE!!!!!!!!!!
