I am sorry it took so much time off your hands to find the information! Don't be! Entirely my fault. I remember downloading everything from both Artpapa and TheDrawingForum... but no luck finding it. It's probably in an old computer. I even checked DVDs from years ago... :roll: If you need anything...

This is annoying me, because I appear to have lost all the old posts on the subject. I saved everything from Artpapa when it closed and reposted them into TheDrawingForum that I ran with JD Hillbury.

So I'm doing my best to mask it instead as best as I can. I was going to comment on that yesterday, but I was doing a fi...

This is progressing remarkably well!

And her eyes are moist and alive, too.

Thank you, Mike! Is there an outline for the lily? 🙏🥹 No... but there is now. :D And I've updated the HOUSE image for you.
