Wow! This definitely portrayed the personalities of the four girls. Have you read the other two books?

I especially like Gemma in this picture: gorgeous but different, her red hair shocking and smooth. Pippa is, of course, beautiful, and Felicity is most assuredly spunky and outgoing and at the same time bossy. You can even tell that Ann is shy, quiet, and looks up to her friends.

Beautifully done!

I've read the first two, and started on the third. I like them a lot. Some of the character's annoy me, but they're well built and the plot is interesting :) Give it a try, if you want.

Thank you so much! :D
I love how you describe my drawings. You make them look much better than they are ;) :hug:

I've read the first two, and I'm waiting for the paperback of the third book to come out so I can read it.

*teehee* I love how you're so modest about your drawings. The thing I really like about them is that - for one - they're using normal instruments such as pencils, and it still turns out brilliantly. Also, I never have a picture of the characters in my head. I know what they should look like, but I can never fully picture them. Your drawings help me with that... they're just so awesome.
