  1. Honestly, I don’t know how you do it. It looks like a bw photo. Unbelievable. Great job. You are truly blessed with a talent from above.

    It’s beautiful work. Being left handed I always managed to start from the wrong side and continually smeared my work. This medium was and is one of my first loves and you are a master. Thanks for the heads up.

  3. (sigh) Such talent is unfair. I love playing around with paint, but I can’t draw. I’m not sure that I should have subscribed to your blog. I’m taking on a distinctly greenish envious tinge. You just keep churning them out as if it’s the easiest thing in the world. How wonderful it must be to have such talent!

    Completely in awe. You do have a wonderful talent. Like one person said above, it almost looks like a photo, that’s how perfect your work is. Keep ’em coming. I can’t wait to see more!

    Everything you do is simply awesome.

  6. Beautiful technique Collen. Simply “down by law”. Which in this case means you draw with authority. 🙂

    I still stare at every single one of your pieces thinking “how in the heck???”

    AMAZING WORK. You are so talented.
    🙂

  8. Thank you for being my very first follower. I enjoy your art.

  9. At first glance, I though this was a REALLY GRAINY black and white photo. But upon further inspection, I realize it’s HAND DRAWN! Whoa!

    …and I see you’ve improved significantly with each post/drawing. I look forward to what’s in store in the future! 🙂

    Spectacular! Every one of your drawings is just amazing!

  11. Take every wonderful comment above, and double that emotion! You are wonderful! The faces you are drawing…are they famous people? Or are they people you know? This one seems a bit familiar, but can not place the face. Your work is so SWEET! Portraits are not easy to get true to life, and wow, you got it down!

    Uhhh, wow. Incredible. I thought this was a bw photo at first glance!

    After scrolling through your posts quickly, I was bored to see that all you had were photos. When I stopped scrolling, I noticed the fine pencil marks and actually paid attention to what I was seeing. These are absolutely incredible and I’m glad I took the time to drop by!

    Amazing! Was this for a particular purpose?

  17. I have no idea how you do it. I would like to believe it is unreal 😦
    Any hints on who the amigo is? Looks like someone in the media.
