No, it is not a man eating plant.

I thought I might meet Chris this morning at the school. I was chaffing to try the Dave Kassen technique, but did not have the patience. Went into rendering too quickly, but it was a well received little charcoal of a pretty girl.

Deb,

I really like this. You have created a cool dynamic between her very round feeling flesh and the angularity of the hair. The necklace drape is a nice touch of interest.

Debra,

Very very nice, sensitively drawn. I particularly like the way you've handled the jaw and throat, always very difficult!
