Girl and Dog

Larger, detailed drawings are tougher to do well (gee, I wonder why?), but you learn from them. Still, if I had the patience to assemble some photo references... I could do something with that hair, for instance.

Then a guy like this [link] comes along, and makes you wonder why you bother. Of course, we're following our own paths, and no matter how good you get, there's always someone better. And I'm lucky to be able to criticise myself this way both in drawing, and writing.

But I am taking cool lessons, and have hired a hip, young, effortlessly charming stand-in who will "sub-in" for me in any kind of public situation (and what has that got to do with drawing?). Dates ... we'll have to work that out, but I hope whomever-it-is likes surprises! (Damn, didn't change the photo yet)
