@usk15 so glad to again see your father and daughter combo.
Kudos to your daughter. If I attempted to draw the Wave off Kanagawa at such a young age, I can guarantee that the result would be closer to what I'd look like after I got hit by *that* wave instead of a rendering of it.
And of course I like vintage vehicles, so your 1941 Indian motorcycle is just a treat.
I am not even attempting to go for it myself, it will be a mess! My daughter is very patience and work slow, methodical and has a keen eye for details. I can say for sure that my daughter (14) is better than me (48), just need to practice and carrying working.
Thank you for your kind words Will!

I continued with portraits this weekend:
For a slight variation on my usual submissions, I thought I'd show the kind of thing from which I frequently draw. I got it from this Pinterest page while searching for 19th century portrait photographs. https://www.pinterest.fr/pin/483925922453963131/
Still not as good a likeness as I want to achieve, but closer than some earlier attempts, which I won't show. But there are other technical issues to work on. This drawing is restricted to head and shoulders because of the small sketchbook that I was using. But some tries on larger paper presented me with another problem. I found it very hard to show the pleats and folds in her dress convincingly. One more thing to work on.
