Artist's Comments

"You smile too much. Why are you smiling?!"

I smile because...

-the person in front of me is tapping his foot in perfect timing to the song that is stuck inside my head.

-the crinkle of that candy wrapper sounded like a thousand grains of rice falling on a metal plate.

-sometimes it is the only thing that will keep me from crying.

-the rain is washing away the mud from that mailbox.

-I just saw you smile to yourself.

-I want to.

-I can.



There is always a reason to smile.

The shading and realism is...incredible. :faint:

I just adore her expression, so full of suppressed joy and a tinge of mischief...and you are absolutely right- there's ALWAYS a reason to smile. :)

Powerfully observed and delicately rendered; subtle, nuanced, graceful tones lyrically balanced and composed. Beautiful work!

:aww: Thank you so much for your lovely comment, Gaby! :hug: You captured her expression perfectly with that one sentence...

The camera sort of killed some of the shading, though. :D

Always! :nod:

Always my pleasure! :heart:

And the drawing still looks amazing, even if your camera ruined it a little. ;)

To paraphrase Robert Henri from his The Art Spirit, "Everything depends on those who make time to do it..." :iconvalentineplz:
