Wonderful drawing, love the detail in his eye.

When in your book you mentioned spending 6 weeks on the foreground and background on a particular drawing, forgot which one, I knew I had to do something, slow down and get off on the small stuff.

Not there yet, but getting better, slowly. Mike I did what you suggested, unfortunately it didn't work. Will need your...

Mike, help, how do I get it to display correctly. this happened once before. As I recall you switched it as your neck was hurting looking sideways
