Profile Portrait

Thanks everyone that came to say hello and nice words for the PPF feature last week ♥

 

Today I made this profile lady. It is very loosely done based on Botichelli. I think she turned out ok, but doesn't resemble the original... oh well :o)

Intricate hair! Whenever I copy someone else's drawing, it always comes out different which is fine! Have fun this weekend! Patsy

It's much better not resembling the original, then it is your own work- and I love it. Happy PPF.

Remembers me of the many Medieval meetings/Renaissance Fairs we have around here at this time of the year.
