Thank you for your comments I've yet to go through your gallery some thing for me to do so nice to see you doing art for your kids I'm A bit the same started drawing last year late starter and Love doing it and committed to improvement and total satisfaction so much to learn..anyways keeep in touch...nev

Thanks Nev. When my children asked me to draw for them, I felt suprised when I saw that I was able to get "resemblance" between the original and mine. Now, I am like a child with a new toy, although I've got not much time to draw or to learn doing it properly. Nevertheless, I feel I'm learning something, like, for example, the importance of shading (as I think you did wonderfully in this one). Hugs

Thanks and I really hope you have a WONDERFUL christmas CU nEV

Merry Christmas and happy new year to you, Nev!!!
