Thanks, Terri! Any suggestions on how to matt and frame it? I want to experiment with matting, square? elongated?

Pat, I've got a question. Do you matt and frame your own drawings? I want to start doing mine, (custom framming is too expensive for me now), but don't know how. Can you give me some tips?
Sorry, I'm no matting expert... :P

Pat,
What a lovely and successful piece! How you were able to draw her from that angle?
Congratulations

Very nice!
If you are keeping the portrait for yourself, you can frame it temporarily until you get an inspiration. That will protect it and give you a chance to see how it looks on a wall with at least some kind of mat and frame to start with.
Whatever you do, try to avoid cropping any more of the l paper than absolutely necessary. You can't get that back.
We'll look forward to seeing what you decide.

Thanks a lot, Pat!
I have a drawing custom frammed, which cost me $180. 4 of my other drawings were matted (but not frammed yet) by a local frammer, and it cost over $200 altogether. I think I can save at least half of the money if I start doing my own framming and matting now.
Funny, you mentioned about Anthony Ryder, I'd just ordered his book from Amazon.com last night.
