| Do not beat yourself up about flaws you see. We can all find our own flaws no problem, but when I have my biggest critic and inspector (my wife) look at things, she rarely complains about the little stuff that bugs the tar out of me. Keep posting on here and listen to these people, they are honest and will give you some wonderful thoughts and ideas. What's cool about being here is they are all here to help and want all of us to be the best we can. Tom |

| thanks again all. and andy, i just watnted to thank you personally for creating that tutorial. i just meant sketchy in that elements is a bit different. actually, your webpages were the first site i started visiting and the main inspiration for kick starting this whole scroll saw venture of mine. i saved all the pages and pics to go back to over and over and over AND OVER again. it was like having a buddy to call up and ask a quick question. i'm sure i'm not the only one who feels this lucky to have such a resource. |

| I can see what you mean re: the cheek and Andy's comments were valid. However, I opened the portrait and the photograph, side by side, and you have captured the little guy to a tee. In my mind, that is what portraits are all about. I usually show family and friend portraits to my four year old grandson. If he recognises them straight away, I know that I have done okay, even if there are things that I am not 100% happy with. Well done for doing so well, so soon: and keep up the good work. Sue |

 | That would be a great piece of work for anyone doing a portrait - for someone who's only been cutting a month it's outstanding .. I just want to know how you achieved that from Andy's tutorial ..  Only joking Andy ..

 | Joke taken Ian! LOLOL I'm always amazed that anyone can use the "tute" and get anything credible out of it. It's kind of a map of the wanderings of my mind in a pattern process. If you've ever been in my mind, you'd know just how far it can wander. Truly, it brings me GREAT joy to know that I could help someone in any way with all this. I had so much encouragement starting out from others (too many to mention) and to be able to return the favour ... priceless!! Good on 'ya again and thank you very much for the words of encouragement directed towards me ... it means a LOT to me. Andy

| That is a fantastic portrait. I think the first thing I look at is - does it look like the person, and your portrait is a great representation of the little guy. You got mood as well as his appearance. I also really liked the Line style you used, as the lines are thicker and add to the look really well. I am sure their parents will treasure it.
