On a role since my return from holidays - a collection of sketch portraits.

OMG, like usual your art is great. So many fine details in each one you create. :clap

Some more experimentation with an abstract portrait.

Just brilliant OMG. Welcome home!

Sallyanne - thank you.

More experimentation; this time I used absolutely minimal brush work. This one has been created using just paths and the BRL filter, with internal selection of 'FG to BG RGB gradient' to provide the source of the created emap.

You've done a magnificent job adding volume to the right areas.
A great challenge using hardly any brushes. :clap
