    Mmmhmm, TV, yes but I don't know the name of the episode... First a maid got killed then an old lady and it turned out to be her own son that did it... And the little detective guy solved it with a couple of old newspaper pictures of two mysterious girls... Anywayz it was good though ;D

    I did enjoy it, I'm glad you drew it, it's an amazing drawing if you ask me. What a shame, I guess there aren't many anime/manga lovers who enjoy a good mystery show such as Poirot. I was just surprised to see that you watched him^^ I'm glad you enjoy reading my comments, I enjoy reading your replies, and comments too but usually replies since, unfortunately, I don't put enough on here for you too comment on. Thank you, I did enjoy my vacation, and I'm glad we can both enjoy SWC. High pitched girly scream I know I can't wait to see you either!! Just 6 days left^^ Thank goodness for the ability to edit/manipulate our artworks, but digitally altered or not it's still a work of art and very good at that especially since it's Poirot. "Hugs back" your welcome, can't wait to see you!

    yeah you're right! I was bugged about the flaws I made in this one xD I got mixed up with realism and manga! I even made the eyes smaller then they had been before, they were really bad the first time xD

    this is so dark, but i love it and i like how real it is but it still has your manga style to it.

    you do a wonderful job, but if you were aiming for more realism i would say that the eyes would need to be smaller and i think that's it.

    but i am glad that you got out of your art block too :) ♥

    Thanks so much^^ I didn't do this drawing with guidelines so its actually easier to shape things since there aren't any boundaries. I used about 3 different colours for the skin but started to run out of ink in one of them lol! It was fun to do this though :) And the eyes were much worse before^^' I was able to edit/manipulate them digitally and squish them smaller... They used to be worse! I'm glad you can't see anything wrong! YAY again!! I'm so happy after reading your lovely comment, Hannah!!! *hugs* Talk to you soon!!

Me and my family have been on vacation for a week and there's no internet, We're still on vacation I'm using someone else's internet . You're drawing really is amazing, I didn't know you could draw such realistic skin tones with copic markers, as for the eyes they don't look that bad. You can tell they're a bit too big, but the coolness of the overall drawing makes it harder to notice. I mean seriously it looks real, thumbs up (^-^)b

    Well you're supposed to pick any 3 people to draw for (except for me cuz I drew for you). But the challenge creator made a new rule where its alright if you draw for people who have already entered the challenge or people who don't want to draw 3 more drawings themselves. So you yourself don't have to draw for 3 people unless you want to, and now those 3 people can pretty much be random selections. Just make sure to ask them if they want a drawing and if they do or don't want to join!

Could you fill one of those spots? i heard from the challene creator that its not necessary for the person I draw for to have to draw for 3 more people is they really don't want to, now that we're running out of participants.
