2. Thank you!
I just had a burst appendix! I spent some time i9n the critical care ward and a total of 11 days in the hospital...so I'm still feeling pretty weak. But, I still feel the need to draw. Hopefull I can work this one still more and really get some impact on the image. Right now tho... I think I need some yogurt...

thanks for your nice words...

4. Excellent!
You have a very good grasp of shadows, turning edges and highlights. The way you render it makes the subtleties very interesting. Your talent is obvious.

7. My dear Steerpike!
This is beautiful...

I was sorry to read that you had a burst appendix. And I'm relieved that you'll be OK...

I'm really glad to see this wonderful portrait...Is it you?

Welcome back, sweetie!
