Ya got me whipped by a country mile sir, very nice. Always appreciate someone who does things the old school way, personally though I like to draw I have many bad habits and no formal training to beat them down with-I try to stick to other creative arts though I did get into abstract and landscape watercolouring. Patience is definitely a must and ya might be surprised what ya can do if ya put something aside when ya get frustrated and come back to it/try an alternate take on it a little later on. Either way I hope ya keep drawing and that we're lucky enough to see the fruits of your labor in the future.
