Hi there, Nina… your sketches are so amazing. Loved the fast coloured lines… the option (or the only choice you had at that moment) you did for few colors made the composition more special.
Few days ago I did a sketch in the airport… it was a lonely, desert and sad place at 2:00 AM… but I didn´t like the result… will keep on trying. Maybe someday my line gets close to yours. It was an inspiration!

By the way, my daughter is also a Nina girl! Beautiful name, isn´t it?

Best Wishes from Fortaleza-Ceará-Brazil

Nina,
These drawings of people are outstanding, beautifully composed on the page. Red and black combination makes it sing. You are too modest. The saying practice makes perfect does not apply. In your case it could be perfect makes practice.

Love every bit of this. It’s amazing how you capture each pose in just a few lines. Every bit of body language is captured with simplicity and clarity. And in a great composition as well! Just wonderful.

Why do you need practice? LOL These are amazing! I especially like the red and black on white one. I like the way you’ve integrated all the shapes together, the lines, and the colors. Good job! I can only aspire to be as good.

I love how you just drew each person overlapping the next. It really fills out the page in a nice way.

Well, my goodness – these are splendid and so much fun to look at. I certainly don’t see “badly needed practice” in them! nancy
