Hi Jeff,

Glad you posted them, I like them both. I agree with Michele about the eyes of the self-portrait. I like the determination you captured which shows in the eyes.

I like the drawing of your wife, especially the hand on her knee and her hair. Maybe you can accentuate certain areas more in your future drawings? I would like to see more dynamics in the way you use light en dark in your drawings, not by making it al very dark, but to have a broader range in gray-values in your drawing. To me certain shadowy areas in her hair, and for example her pupils, or certain parts of her glasses can have some dark accents. It gives the drawing more dynamics, or a certain rythm. Do it subtle.

Do you make these drawings watching a computer-screen? I thought I read that somewhere in another thread.

Peter
