My last two reads. The book by Carlos Ruiz Zafon was ok, but a bit long in the end, for me.
The Atkinson one was awesome, it's the second book I read by this author and I really love her mind and her style! It's funny, and sometimes completely awful, and never boring.
I had fun drawing this page - thses days I spend a lot of my free time trying to draw my sister's wedding invitation.
It seems I can't get her face right, I must have drawn her 50 times, and it's never really good.
I tried this, but they didn't like it much, apparently.
And I've tried this :
And this drawing is the first of a very long list that I like a little. I'm beginning to recognize her face.
If they don't like it, I'll try with another photo - I think I'll never manage a better drawing than this one from this particular photo.
Maybe I should have told them I'm a complete beginner at portraits, before accepting the task...

Oh my, you are very brave to volunteer to draw a wedding invitation! My hat's off to you. And, I think the portraits are great, for what it's worth. Your book spread is really nice, too! nancy
I like both of them a lot,but I find the second one a little bit more traditional. Your portraits are really good.
Oh, yes portraits are really difficult for me too. I don't know what your sister looks like, so I can't say if it's good or not, but I like the style and colors in which you did both the pictures very much!
Hope you get it in the end, and that your sister likes it too.
The books are awesome as always Kazumi(I'm still calling you that...teeeheee!) And wow, you're drawing your sister's wedding invitation!!! That's the coolest job ever and I think both of them are pretty!
I really like the 2nd one too. Because I love looking at eyes in portraits, and I love how you drew her hair too. :)
Both portraits look fantastic to me! And I always like seeing your book reviews.
I love it when you do drawing of the books read, and a little review of it. I love to read and sometimes I check into the books! As for your sister's wedding invitation, you are B-RAVE!! Remember, my grandma recently told me my portrait of her was "awful", yet everyone said it looked just like her! And portraits are so, so difficult!
I like the last portrait. And as always, I enjoy your book drawings.
I love your drawings, and your portraits are quite good! I think your sister would be very happy!
by the way, I love Carlos Ruiz Zafon's book, it's "The shadow of the wind" isn't it? You have a beautiful blog! :)))
I have a list in my handbag "les choix de Delph" with your choice of books, Atkinson is twice mentionned!
Your invitations for your sister's wedding is a great present. I am passing you an advice I red about portrait: Forget about likeness!
It will relaxes you and the result will surprise you.
My favorite one is the first.
Very good drawings. You definitely have talent. Look forward to seeing more of your work.
