these are very nice , i like the unfinished look you got there with yr lines and color, it gives a certain life of movement in the drawings, very nice.

Yes, these are very lovely.

In fact you're using the pastels the way I want to use them so these are gonna be what I'm gonna look at every day to get some semblence of a 'goal.'

Thaks guys,

wow a response from belgium, very cool. That's why I love this forum.

Something that I just discovered that really helped me was varying the croma (less chroma away from you focal point) I used warm and cool greys over the area that I want to mute.

Just something I wanted to share.


If any one has any other tricks like that I would love to hear them.


Take care.
