It's my task of next week to find the right word to write to her ...

I didn't know that there was a chocolate factory in Bordeaux ... have you seen that the picardian shepperd was a commission of Mrs Marcolini ? Marcolini is supposed to be the new Genius of chocolate...


Claudemir

having a background or not... both are interesting
the background changes all the feelings, it could be the subject of a whole book.
So in that case I prefered them without
Nevertheless thanks for your comments

Cyrille,

These are quite nice, I agree! They show confident and disciplined line work, and excellent form. I would like to see some of the strength shown in the hair in the shading of the drawing. It is possible to use bolder shade lines, and not distract from the drawing. The shading could afford much bolder lines without any distraction at all. In fact, the hair attracts the eye by the beauty of the lines. The line work you did is great, but a bit timid in the shading. It is as though we think, when we draw a shade line, that it will detract if too bold. When in fact, a little boldness of line only adds strength and balance of a drawing such as this.

I appreciate the use of linework in your drawing, rather than just rubbing in the shadows. It is more difficult, and requires discipline and practice, but well worth the effort.
