Barbie Rosman
I remember my art teacher from high school teaching me some basic tricks to drawing a natural looking face. These tips have helped me on many occasions, and I hope they do the same for you.

I do nothing of any importance, nothing important at all, not even a thing that has anything to do with anything of any importance. But still, I'm getting paid to do this. I'm not getting paid a lot. Actually, I'm hardly getting paid at all. To be quite frank, the money I get is so little, that my job is fairly important according to what I'm getting paid.
