    A few of us have talked about an April challenge that Earl suggested should be either a ‘self or significant other’ portrait. As its April Fools Day I did think of posting a picture of me in my speedos frolicking amongst the daffodils but I held back for the sake of those with of a nervous disposition.

    Instead I’m posting a self portrait which I actually drew over 4 years ago in pastel on an A2 sheet. Let’s see what you can do guys. keep well :)

        That’s really nice, David. An intimate conversation with the artist.

        C&C always welcome.

                    That’s a wonderful portrait David! I look forward to seeing others :) I’m not sure if I’ll have anything to contribute to this thread this month, but hopefully there’ll be one.

                        You started this off with your lady with a large hand Constance, why not put that in here, some may not have seen it :)

                                Ok, here’s the lady with the large hand :) As I think this might be boring to look at again, I’ll share another one (that might fit in to this Figure group), that I did a few years ago…I do hope I’ll have the motivation to draw a fresh one before this thread ends…hope everyone is safe and healthy.

                                I’ts never boring to look at your work again Constance and the second one is superb, I love your treatment of the ear – many artists have difficulty with ears, even many of the great names. I love the colouring too :)

                                    Bob, I agree with everyone, is a fantastic job.

                                    Costance, David is right about both works, thanks, yes, they are exceptional works.
                                    Greetings to everyone
