I draw and paint freehand instead of tracing over the screen, so don't expect a lot.

The characters you have portrayed and captured in the expressions on the faces of your sketches, would, if I had be responsible for them, encourage me to take them home and give each of the individual portraits a second attempt with my pencils and watercolours using what you have done as reference. The fascination with expressions of each individual that you momentarily have captured with a pen leads me to believe you have a unique talent that I am quite envious of. I have to study what I draw, especially a face, for quite a long time before attempting a portrait, and with a pen as well would make my rubber that I use as much as the pencil I am holding, totally defunct.

Alan apologies just noticed your comment in the awaiting moderation thing, I had for got to set an email notification for comments on this blog.
There is a downside to this ability although I don't really know how to put it into words.
it is related to having much less control than one would have over a just learnt ability, and perhaps to it worrying me a bit.
