你画得真快！你给我看你画的开头时，我就觉得很棒，现在看完之后，感觉就像在看另一个人。我觉得画肖像很难，一部分原因是我不太擅长认脸。所以我尽量仔细观察人物的外貌。关于原图，我觉得头部的位置尤其不同。也许正是这一点让女孩看起来更悲伤？你的画是对原图的完美延续。我们哭泣后的表情……紧绷、疏离，仿佛在努力克制自己不要再次哭出来。头发看起来非常柔软，闪闪发光，我真想摸摸它。我觉得你创作了一幅很美的作品，而且它并不一定要完全一样才好看。我觉得你画眼睛也很棒。

炭笔是不是涨价了？比普通铅笔贵多少？我以为炭笔已经很贵了，我在想能不能用柴火炉里剩下的炭块来画。就这些。谁知道呢，也许哪天我会试试。如果让我自己决定，我肯定没那么多时间。我能想象你那样画画背会疼，尤其是在深夜。不过你今天已经过得很充实了。好好放松一下，才能以最佳状态迎接新年。

You're so fast! When you showed me the beginning of your drawing, I thought it was fantastic, and now it's like I'm looking at a completely different person. I find portraits challenging, partly because I'm not very good at recognising faces. So I try to study someone's appearance more carefully. Regarding the original photo, I think the position of the head, in particular, is different. Maybe that's enough to make the girl look sadder? Your drawing is a beautiful continuation of the original. The face we have after crying... tight, distant, an attempt to keep from bursting into tears again. The hair looks wonderfully soft. It shines, and I'm tempted to stroke it. I think you've created something beautiful, and it doesn't have to be exactly like that to look good. I also think you're good with eyes.
Have charcoal pencils become more expensive, and how much more expensive than a regular pencil? I thought charcoal had gotten quite expensive, and I'm wondering if I could use what's left over from the wood stove. Just those bits. Who knows, maybe I'll try that someday. If it were up to me to try, I definitely don't have enough time. I can imagine your back hurts when you draw in that position, but also if it's late at night. You've already had a good day then. It's good to relax so you can celebrate the new year in good health.
