love the clapping icon. Hope you had a very Merry Christmas or Happy Hannukah (whichever applies)

I like it too and don't like it at the same time.It was going in a good direction until I black lined one line and the whole drawing had to follow. Was close to ripping this up.

I recently had a supper pen work 80% done. About 20-30 hrs work on 11X14 paper. Like an idiot I asked my wife and brother if I should color it and they said yes. Who's the artist here? Anyway, after all the work and the very good pen work I ended up ripping it up!!!

I should have put it in photo shop, removed the color, and printed it out relining what was done and finishing it. Well, what's done is done

it's really hard when it comes to input on art, i often need people to comment on work but there's always the danger of ignoring your artistic instincts! The only tried and true method I know of getting things right is handing it over to my higher power before i start, then it's usually easy and doubt is rare. I have the advantage of living alone and nobody sees my work much hope you had good xmas too

That's the best place to put it. In His hands. At the very least a really good artist. But honestly, I knew the right answer in my gut. I take all the blame

Had a very nice Christmas

cool. I'm feeling frustrated at the moment because it's hot and acrylic paint is drying too fast. Never thought I'd see the day i complained about nice weatheram painting a picture of Christchurch with half its buildings gone, very sad, but dying to get it finished>
