Thank you!

A couple of weeks ago I was walking thru an art/craft store with my son and he took a liking to the attached framed photo of a seascape with foreground grasses. I decided at that moment to take a quick photo of it with a view to practicing my grass drawing skills that you taught me with the Intermed...

Thank you also PogArtTi for your kind words. Mike is a really good teacher and mentor!!

I do see the nose issue too

Mike, I am about to start on drawing the attached dog portrait for a friend. Do you have any overall comments/tips with regards to how to achieve the fur texture for this specific project?

Thanks Laurene! I’ll try to adjust the nostrils
