Jimmie,

I really like the fact you let the shirt be and put the emphasis on the face, hair and arms. This is a good case of addition by abstraction. If you haven't as of yet ,you should check out the drawings of Steven Assael. His drawings are in ball point pen, mostly, and he is very successful. I think you are quite worthy and should be enjoying the same type of response to your drawings. Keep up the good work.
