    Just in case You may be interested on the process I followed, this time I started from a real pencil drawing I made out of my mind and scanned as a JPEG (PDF are not accepted by ArtRage).
    Here's the starting sketch, maybe better from a point of view od Susannah's expression ...

    Love the drawing, Caesar! You are a very good draftsman. I have always loved drawing as an end in itself. I would imagine it's particularly direct to get your figures to convey what you want them to say. I'm a big fan of it as the perfect tool to work out ideas in detail. Bravo!

    Adoro il disegno, Cesare! Sei un ottimo disegnatore. Ho sempre amato il disegno fine a se stesso. Immagino che sia particolarmente diretto far sì che le tue figure trasmettano ciò che vuoi che dicano. Sono un grande fan di esso come lo strumento perfetto per elaborare idee in dettaglio. Bravo!

    Thank You, dear ninghty-(I guess now)! I love drawing and storytelling ... maybe some ancestrors of mine were bards or aoidos (ancient Greek poets-singers)

    You're right, dear D Akey. Once You set up a decent technique and skill You may evocat any idea in few minutes with enough detail and hints.
    You may even go beyond up to a good realism with tonal additions You may get also by appropriate directional pencil traits and strokes.
    You only have to avoid overworking, but that's a general rule valid for paintings too ...
    Thank You once more!

    I liked the painting - and I think the drawing is even more effective. Very impressive! The drawing gives it a timeless quality - from any period - and highlights the draftsmanship.

    Thank You! As a matetr of fact the drawing is quite immediate to set up and keep the vision while the painting suffers for a more complex procedure to set up and an overall poor planning of tones and palette ...
    Thank you !
