It's nice to read this again, it still looks pretty good

You know, for being compared to Ed Wood all the time, I wonder if you *truly* realize the extent to which your work resembles the films of Ed Wood.
Specifically, I'm referring to his autobiographical film "Glenn of Glenda," in which Ed revealed his love for wearing women's clothing. The theme of his fetish for angora sweaters was often echoed in many of his later films. I can specifically think of a scene from "Bride of the Monster" where the monster Lobo, played by Tor Johnson, seems fond of an angora hat that belongs to the heroine of the film.
I just thought of that right now.

That is something I pride myself on.
I think I should bittorrent some Ed Wood movies.

Plan Nine from Outer Space is available on Google Video in it's entirety. Apparently it's considered Public Domain.
The Mystery Science Theater version of Bride of the Monster is available on YouTube, and it's split up into 10 parts.
I have not actually gotten to seen Glen or Glenda, unfortunately, so my familiarity with it is pretty much dependent on how it was portrayed in Tim Burton's Ed Wood.

I must admit, the mid-right panel and the last panel are both nicely done. Her hands could have stood to have been larger, but otherwise the perspective is spot-on. The first panel odds me a bit because of the profiles- Jim's is too boxy and skewed from normal human proportions. Then again, I find profiles harder to do than face-on shots myself.

Yeah, profiles are yet another one of my problem areas, and I'm constantly having to wrestle with the sizes of hands, feet, and even "Happy Regions." One of my College instructors took one look at one of my nude sketches and immediately screamed "LAND SHARK!" I still get laughs about it. (Note to Admins: Please let me know if this needs editing)
I've tried paper stumps and tortillions before. Since you suggested it, I'll gladly try them out again. Like you said, they're not expensive.

Ah, i remember my life drawing classes. Hands and feet are plain evil to draw; I'll redraw a set of hands ten or twelve times just to get them semi-decent. And I'm ahppy to hear the bit about the paper stumps- they're odd things to weild, but fun. (My favorite tip- after I've used one a lot and it had a blackened tip from a lot of blending, I can use it as a shading tool on light areas without having to lay down any graphite first. it's kinda like painting with it, in a way.)
