I think that amount of drawing has definately improved my technique. It's really hard to be subjective though, isn't it? Thank you anyway - I takethat a s a compliment.<BR/><BR/>Amy, you could email me if there is anything you are interested in (andreajoseph24[at]btinternet[dot]com). <BR/><BR/>I do think that the shadow has added something to this drawing.
