Thanks to EVERYONE who responded. I know it's not ten people but I don't have that many friends! hehehe. I really hope you all enjoy my selections......

1. Draximillian

A wonderful artist, and probably my best friend in the whole world. I am biased in that I love everything he draws. I especially adore the contrast of black and white that characterises so many of his pieces, and tatoo designs. Also a little biased in my first choice as that was drawn for me, but it was a departure from his usual work so I wanted to include it here...

I love the animated style and subtle but striking use of light in this artists pieces, they are beautiful and intriguing. I especially love 'The one who was forgotten' very evocative...

3. Lunarsparks

A wonderfully supportive friend, who's advice has helped me emmensely. Choosing favourites from her work is so difficult, I wanted to pick a piece that showed the colour use that I love so much. I also love her pencil works and I adore elephants so that one wasn't such a hard choice...

4. China-Hartz

An artist who shares my passion for fantasy characters and changeling drawings, who produces beautiful pencil work. I love the way the faces she draws feel real, like you could find them if you looked hard enough. I am also in awe of the her ability to draw faces at any angle and capture emotions flawlessly...
