Chris, you've articulated two principles that I hold dear:

A balance between what you see (observation) and what you know (anatomical studies).

You're an inspiration.

Hi Chris,

I love the close-up. It's always interesting to see what goes into the build up of a face. I was just looking at your book for how you handled kids in the sun. I noticed with interest how your work and style as changed over the years. Pretty cool!

Chris,

Really strong!

Well done, the nose is indeed well constucted, that is usually my Waterloo.

Love the color.
