Thanx a lot for your gracious and kindly compliments. I still have a lot to learn.
The work on the comic book industry gave me the "precision" you just tell. As a matter of fact, im trying to make everything more loose and natural, opposed to that precise, exact, hatched lines from the fine comic book artwork, to achieve something completelly different from that. I think we all should find new horizons and possibilities.
Anyway, i really appreciate your comments, and i do feel i will make loads of friends around here.
I just saw that Cris Saper posts on this forum. I was absolutly surprised, since I do have a copy of one of hers books with me, and this one really helped me out. This place is great.
Thanx again Alex!

Alexandra:
I loved the drapery you do on your portraits. Very, very nice.
Edna Andrade is my favorite one. I loved her pose and the natural light.
Is she Brazilian? This surname is typically Brazilian.
Great work!

Wonderful self portrait Alex. The style reminds me of a pen and ink drawing. Will very much enjoy seeing more of your work here - thanks for joining.

Andrade is her husband's name, and I am not sure where he was from, but it might have been Brazil. Her maiden name is Wright but she gained a reputation as an artist using "Andrade." Thanks for saying such nice things about my drapery, Alex--I never thought much of it myself so I'm glad someone does!
