Hi Debra -

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful work. I love seeing how you went about it as well as the result.

I've taught a little bit of drawing to folks who get so scared about the idea of drawing a person. I've told them similar to what you said. Even if they're not ready to hear it then, they might remember it one day and take action accordingly. So - why bite your lip?
