  7. Lots of power in her gaze.
    Reminds me of when I was young and short and the teacher would look down on me...just like that!

  8. Thanks, Chieftess and Julie.

    She does gaze down at us, mainly because the model was up on a stand and I was seated well below eye level.

  10. Thanks, Katherine.

    I like the process of getting those sharp and soft marks. The brush, a sumi brush, is fun to use, usually for the purpose of getting the loose drippy marks.
