Colour appears somehow stronger, though appears more
coloured pencil in appearance. More background prescence
(essential for this pic to create decent perception of
depth / height). Am I on track, or have I totally missed
the point?

Drawing Des a little more muscular these days? (Quite like
that personally...) More definition in the arms and legs
as well as the main veins in her arms, I notice. Generally
I think I'd be concerned if I were in a position that Des
were looking down on me like that, for however you assess
the situation, Des has the distinct advantage.

Knowing it takes you so long makes me feel better that it
takes me many hours to produce something of much lower
standard. I'd be crushed if I knew you turned out pics
like this "in about an hour". I still have a LONG way to
go, but I've started the path!

Other than one eye doing nearly all the work, does it stuff
you up for your drawing in any other way? If you were
doing something that was 3D, then I would understand your
depth perception would be shot, but since you are only
creating the illusion of depth... Take care while
driving, since you can only see half of what every one else
is - so look twice as hard and remember that it may not be
as far away as you believe (let alone like...)

Good to see that you can still draw. Keep up the good work
when you are able. :-) or .-) in your case...

Scrapper, Black Dragon, not sufficiently educated in the
arts to be a true art critic, but can still identify stuff
he likes.
