I just watched her and Jack Benny in "To Be or Not to Be." Such a tragic ending for a beautiful person. Β You did a great job! Β

She was beautiful, it's a shame how her life was cut short.

Oh my goodness. You wonβt believe how excited I was to see this. That soft focus on the hair is mesmerizing- so well executed! On second thought, this picture as a whole is mesmerizing. Inspiring work! Nice to see new stuff from you.

I'm glad you're excited! I was beginning to wonder if anyone was able to view this picture as it appears dA is having a glitch with their gallery showing new uploads. I have been working on this for about a month between vacations and family visits. I have already started on my next work which is another portrait of Grace Kelly but Carole was so beautiful I might have to do another one of her!

Oh, I completely understand that. I'm finding it hard to fit in drawing time during the busy summer too. You should definitely do another of Carole sometime - you did her such justice here! I've wanted to draw her for awhile but can't find the right ref. Anyway, I can't wait to see your Grace Kelly! Your portraits are the ones tend to look forward to the most out of my dev watch.

Finding a good ref can be the biggest challenge at times. I like to browse around [link] for ideas and then see if I can find a higher res photo elsewhere. I look forward to seeing your work as well, Thank you!
