I do have a strong aversion to bodies and backgrounds. I either cut off their heads or make mug shots. Also a problem working from photos. I have about three pictures I did from life but the models have about the same enthusiasm.

About her nose, I did move an eyebrow and tweak a tad after I scanned her. I will post the life-drawings tonight and see if there is any more vitality in the kind that wiggle.

PS. She DID just get home from a makeup makeover. You know how 15 year olds get!
