this is just outstanding!!!!!!!!! so amzing! thanks for including the close up on the eye so we can better appreciate your incredible artistry!…again im blown away!
So much detail is lost in the small view…I thought that a close up view might add to the understanding of what goes into texturing skin, eyes and hair using a stylus and tablet. Glad you appreciate that…xox

Oh my god Helen-I am speechless.
This is incredible!! Really. I am smiling ear to ear! Holy likeness!!!!!
I have to laugh about the synchronicity of the nails…let me explain…throughout the school year when I am working I keep them short. Summertime is the only time I have them longer. I love having my nails longer but I just can’t maintain them. JUST TODAY I was lamenting how I will have to cut them soon because I will be going back to work. But no worries, for you have immortalized them in this portrait. HA!It is me-just with a bit more Glamour!!!! It Is really a joy to see me with longer eyelashes and lighter hair, and long nails!!! What fun!
Well Helen, in closing-you work the tablet like no-one. Incredible style.
thank you!
Margot
Margot, I am so glad that you got a smile out of seeing what I have done to YOU! lol I had fun trying for a soft feminine look with choice of colour palette and those longer painted nails.. but…emphasising that intelligent and cheeky glint in your eyes! You are a good sport to allow your portrait to be painted…Cheers Helen xox
Helen that’s what I find so amazing about this work of yours-you did capture this-to use your words- “intelligent and cheeky” part of my personality in this picture. It really is truly amazing..and a little bit surreal! :)
Great job Helen!
Thank you, susi! :)

she looks beautiful and you have made her look even more so.
i love the shiny feel and touches of realness, especially those cheeks. ;-) xox
Oh good, I’m glad you saw the shiny feel and touches of realness, especially those cheeks. The small view loses detail…Thank you…xox
