I joined quite some time back but as I haven't contributed at all, I thought I had best re~introduce myself. I have started drawing again after a gap of thirty years, so in a way, I really am new to it all, it is such a pleasure to have the time to pick up a pencil whenever I feel like it

I have managed to put two drawings in my album, Brandon being the first portrait lesson I attempted, and Claudette. I don't work particularly quickly, I suppose Claudette took around 5 hours with coffee breaks

. When I compare drawings with a friend of mines work I can see that I am not terribly refined lol, but I can see an improvement in my second portrait. Any hoo, I am happy to receive advice (as long as it isn't pack up the graphites lol)
