Can't get this quite right.

OH WOW, thanks marcello. That was perfect. I don't know why I get a blockage in my brain with my draws at times. I reworked everything on this pic except the forehead. DUH.....stubborn I guess. I kept thinking his chin was not long enough, but shortening the forehead made the chin just right. Thnaks again for the cc. It was needed, I was going NUTS.

By the way, how would I know what 100~200 pixels would be?

Went There on my way to left of Center. Found the payphones, but had no Change couldn't call. Must be why I kept hearing the distant roar of a chant " The Change- The Change- The Change"

When I saw the thumbnail for this, I said "patienceisoverrated" and I was right! =D
I really love those aquas and flesh tones. So delicious.

Bump, back to first page. A great drawing like this shouldn't be pushed back so fast.

Here's the low down.....this is my Grandson, although I'm not really old enough (ok, it's possible at 45 yrs old) to have grandkids yet and I don't really have access to him and here's why...
I had a daughter when I was 17 yrs old but being so young myself, my best choice was adoption...and so the right parents were found, the papers were signed, and life went on....
In the year 2000, I discovered that my then 18 yr old daughter was beginning the process contacting me thru the adoption agency we used and on her 19th birthday, we were on the way home from picking her up at the Atlanta bus station...

Amazing picture elly and an amazing story. Thanks for sharing this with everyone and acknowledging God in the midst of all that has happened. Only He can provide such strength along with the artistic talent that He has so fully blessed you with. Keep them coming, please!

I'm glad to see other people sharing their stories here. I still have hopes that someday my daughter might be able to locate her son. He's probably married by now, and has kids of his own. Who knows....my daughter might be a "grandmother".......which would make me a "great grandmother".

That's amazing, elly. I like the high contrast!
I was adopted when I was six years old. The adoption agency spent two years trying to find my parents while I was in foster care but had no luck. When I was younger, not knowing who my real mom was constantly bothered me. Nowadays, it's not something I think about but I still want to know. I'd like to find her and ask her all these questions that need answers. I'd hope she could answer them for me. On the other hand, I might be better off not digging around for her. I guess I won't know until I cross that bridge.

wow very impressive stories, it's nice to know more about everyone
