A wonderful creation of art. I love the tonality of this. Perfectly done.
Thanks so much :)
– Andrea Michael
very unique and humorous too!
Haha a lot of people look at it and instantly go “yuck!” at the subject matter, I’m glad you like it!
– Andrea Michael
Fantastic! Congratulations :)
Thanks so much!
– Andrea Michael
Wow amazing! Well done!
Thanks for your kind comment :)
– Andrea Michael
LOVE IT! Very well done, great subject, love the title!
Glad you like it!
– Andrea Michael
they go yuck? Ok…perhaps they don’t SEE what Artists see…smiles
I truly believe it is not the subject matter but the end result etc….
I think you’re right there. Often the ‘ugliest’ things are the most fun to draw and man did I have fun with this little fellow :)

Andrea, I laughed out loud when I read the title. It’s amazing what can come out of an HB pencil when it’s in the right hands. You sure know how to get the lead out! Now I’m going back to the challenge to vote for you. Cheers.
Thanks for your wonderful comment and vote!
