I particularly like the first pictures. I certainly think you have talent. I only wish that I could draw as well.
You say that you can only paint from a picture but many portrait painters do that these days. We were at Montmartre in the artist quarter in April and I saw many painting dogs, cats and children from photos. My sister recently comissioned a portrait of my mum's dog for a xmas present to her ; from a photo, how else could they do it when the dog wouldn't keep still; so don't under value your talent!
Best wishes to you

Thank you for your kind words Vicomtesse
I just finished my first portrait of the year! It took me the afternoon and the evening (and 2 pencil leads ) to be satisfied with the result. I hope you'll like it

Best wishes to all of you
Marine

I love this one! You are very talented, you are really able to "capture" Leonard in your drawings. Thank you for sharing these with us!

Marine,

This last one is great! My favorites so far are your very first one and this last one. There is a big age gap between them, but you make his personality shine through in both of them.

Best regards,
Mary

Hi Marine,
I agree with Mary B, this last picture and the first are your best; just wonderful.
Vicomtesse

Hi Marine;

I congratulate you, you have tremendous talent, the picture is very beautiful.
Leonard when he sees definitely like.

Thank you Lisa, Mary, Vicomtesse and Leonka
I agree with you it's my favorite too.
I'm happy because I can see the progression between the drawings I made 3 years ago and this last one, I'm making progress!
