From what I’ve seen, they’re not crappy at all! Keep it going! ---

Wow, very well done **FRM**. I love your rendition, quite dynamic! I’ve never had a portrait done, ever. If you’d like to, here is my [submission](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v386/devilsnew/63b9e3de.jpg). ---

I really like your stuff, FRM. I wanna play! [This](http://home.mindspring.com/~honeydewgrrl/dsc_037.jpg) is from last Spring, when I was attempting to grow out my hair. That attempt eventually failed. [This](http://home.mindspring.com/~honeydewgrrl/kate-n-oz.jpg) is my default short and choppy do, from my short lived “red” period. ---

Revenant Threshold’s picture is [finished](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v218/csharpmajor/sdmb/RevenantThreshold.jpg)! **OtakuLoki** , your photo doesn’t seem to work. Come to think of it, I don’t think it _ever_ worked. And could everyone please make sure their photo is larger than, say 200x200 pixels? They’re a bit hard to see otherwise on my resolution. For example **TheOnlySaneOne** , could you please give me another picture? I can’t really make out your facial features. Okay, I think that’s all 🙂 ---

I order the books at an art supply store. 😃 _Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain_ is excellent. For portraits, I recommend _The Artist’s Complete Guide to Drawing the Head_, and for figure drawing in general, get Bridgman’s _Constructive Anatomy_ Oh, and here’s [me](http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f295/bedgyro/IMAG0046.jpg). ---

Okay, [I want in](http://www.image4u.org/interface2x/photo.JPG). Judging by the number of pictures posted so far, I’ll expect my portrait by Halloween. ---

Things that have happened since the last portrait: 1. I got a job! 2. I started uni! 3. Hi, Opal! **Hal Briston**! (Yeah, I know, I couldn’t resist.) ---

Not only is it a great picture, but you’ve managed to make me look about ten pounds lighter! Your payment for that will arrive shortly. 😉 ---
