Allan, I have spent the last few hours musing on what you wrote. I may be completely misreading what you intended, but let me try: I took what you wrote as a critique - a very insightful, valuable and welcome critique. As I see it, my strengths are all about capturing subtlety, the "delicate nuances" as you put it, but I wonder if I am missing or neglecting something that is at least as important, the immediacy that I see in work I admire, the "punch" as it were. I think this drawing has some nice aspects to it, but I feel - as I do with most of my work - that it lacks something, that maybe it's too refined, too polished. And I am guessing that the real problem is that I am - once again - copying a photograph. I think if I were drawing this girl from life it would be an entirely different experience - and result. So, I thank you from my inmost heart for your penetrating and insightful response to my work. Even if this is nothing close to what you meant!  Thank you!

David,
I had no intention to give a critique, I am just a foreigner that pick the wrong words.
I guess that I should have written that I am stunned in stead of wondering of the punch of the "delicate nuances".
Let me explain: I am impressed by the impact, "punch" of the content / expression of the subtle nuances in the face. You have done so little, with such a great effect.
One of the things that I admire is when painters express them self with economy, meaning expressing things with ( apparently ) ease. This happens often if a painting / drawing is made in a rush, things are not re don very much but painted by instinct.
A drawing can be done in any manner and I think that you have succeeded doing what you set up for.

I got you. Allan, I always learn so much from you - even when I misread what you write! And you are not a "foreigner" - we're all one. Thank you.
Linda, thank you so much for your kind response.
David

I couldn't resist sharing this one. When I met this little girl she was sitting outside her village classroom holding this pair of funny glasses. She happily obliged me.

LOL David, It just proves that kids are the same all around the world. The second photo , with the glasses, makes her seem less bothered by those rings on her neck. Thanks for posting that.
