I was looking through some Flickr contact pages the other day and I came across this drawing of me. Enerene74 used to do a lot of sketches of fellow artists on Flickr. I enjoyed them a lot. Unfortunately he has been busy and not sketching much. I was delighted to see that he made time to do a sketch of me. I think he did a great job capturing my smile.
I did this sketch to return the favor. I am pleased to report that he likes the sketch very much.
I like how you have captured the look on his face, the communication in his eyes. Very soulful, this portrait. I feel as if I could really talk to him, like he’s a real person.

Thanks so much! It’s a bit of a challenge to do a drawing from a photograph, especially someone you do not know well. I always want to bring more into the drawing. I try to guess what the person is feeling and try to bring that in.

I had a look on Flickr at your portrait and it is so good. He has captured a great smile there. Your portrait of him is excellent also. You amaze me with your life like images of people which really brings them to life.
