second 15 minutes

I am loving this - well done Marie/Annabel for the suggestion. It's the time limit that is making it so great for me - it makes it do-able timetable wise and stops me fussing. My boy again and this was hard - and I haven't got his eyes/face quite right ... but that is why we are doing this isn't it? - to improve. I just know these sketches are going to feature in work in the future. And now, having just been wowed by Laura's, I am going to have to put an ipad back on the birthday list!

    You'll be doing pet portraits next Hils, they are rather good. He looks a bit sad, has that cat been beating him up again?
    Due to course failure will see you on Thurs, you may want to change your mind about coming...

    Thanks 'Artymess' - lurchers do make you go aaawww don't they. Heres to my hand-eye muscle too!
    Steph - Dix ofetn looks rather serious - it is no joke being at the mercy of every rufty tufty nutter that comes along - incudng psycho Ted. I, of course phoned everyone and made sure your students couldn't come, so I would see you next Thursday. Was that selfish? or just adoration? x
