It's another edition of Sketchwars Wednesday. Each week there are a few questions about this escapade my sister and I have embarked upon. One thing I do want to make perfectly clear is you should NOT expect to recognize the subjects from my renderings of them. If you do, you have great vision.
I would therefore like to recognize Dianne Throop who noted that the young woman from last week bore an amazing resemblence to Abigail Adams. I was contacted by her great, great, great, nephew once removed who wanted to know where I had gotten the image the sketch was based on. It was apparently taken from the Abigail Adams museum in the early 1900's and they want it back. More on that story another time.
This week's work is all about men. Men with hands on their faces. Oh dear. I might have to work on this awhile.
Luckily I have a nice cup of tea at my side. Stalwart and steady. The perfect refreshment for what could be a few more hours of sketching.
Ok..I have tiered eyes...but I see Chris unshaven ...Q.do you have eyes for only Chris? Only asking because all your man drawings are lookin like him,.......( how sweet!!...hehehe) ok you can tell me to go away! But I'm not going anywhere until I know the bacon secret!!!!!!!

Ohmygosh! HANDS!!! Are they not THE most difficult thing to draw!! Bravo. Well done. I keep thinking that no matter what you put down is just fine, after all, it is your interpretation. I've even tried doing a few on the app "Paper". This way I can erase more easily!:)

I like this man you sketched because he looks as though he knows something funny and I like people who have a great sense of humor and consequently make me laugh. You are so very talented!

I agree with leslie, you did a great job on the hands, because they are really hard to draw.

I'm sorry, but this person contacting you about the sketch, may be just the most bizarre and funniest thing I ever heard. It is definitely something that would happen to me, although I probably would have gotten sued in the process. Talk about a chilling effect on sketching: I bet every artist who reads this is looking over their shoulder at a museum wondering if someone is going to come along and ask them where they sketched that stolen art object.
What a hoot!
