I really enjoyed drawing these two opera singers putting on their make-up and I'm happy with the drawing too, after a run of disappointing ones. This is also the only China drawing in which the colours look good together - the others seemed to have a mish-mash of nice and nasty. What I most enjoyed drawing though was that forearm, below! It's very subtle but you can see from the shape that the muscles are very well developed, not what we might usually expect from an opera singer, and the skin is bruised and the knuckles are red. Clearly a very physical occupation. The logo was taken from my ticket stub.

Hi,
I´m so glad I found your blog. Great drawings and I´m so jealous of your visit to China. Great photos.

You're really getting the hang of this coloured stuff!! They're fantastic drawings Felicity, very delicate and detailed. You make me feel like I draw with boxing gloves on!!
Oh Felicity, these are just stunning!!! I always love your pencil work but these colored pencils are perfect for you! Gorgeous!!
These are really great drawings.
They certainly are wonderful, Felicity. I love the flesh tones.
