Wow, what wonderful support I have received from you all.
Steven, You explain things so well. When are you going to put out a book titled 'Mistakes are an artist's best tool' or something similar. A how to read a painting and learn book, sounds good to me. I will have to reread your comments again to take them in better. I understand the 'snowball' effect as one wrong shape lends itself to more misjudged shapes the longer you let it go without correcting. I am not so sure about how you measured it though with the two lines bit. I got the ear bit. The hair was my artistic licence allowed to roam.
Anna, yes I see it but when I do it, it is two different things, I just figured close enough is good enough for this level of skill. I was a bit naughty. I just saw the drawing and just eyeballed it the best I could with what I have to work with at the moment. I got the book for my birthday so I will have to save up for the others you mentioned.
Patricia, Yes I can't believe I was lucky enough to get it. As soon as I got I wasn't seen for hours later. My head never came out of it until I needed food. Wow the blending in it. Yes the paper would make a difference. I bet you enjoyed his workshop.
Terri, you picked my artistic licence bit, I thought I could get away with it. Oops, I'm sprung. I will repeat 100 times, I am a bad girl for not observing shapes as they are, not as I would like them to be.
Claudemir, I am glad you noticed. I am practicing as much as I can.
