Steven,
Thanks for showing us the way once again. It is amazing how we forget such simplicities from our youth.

It is true that the eyes see all if we allow them to focus, it is the retraining of them as artists to see the complexities within the masses of tone and lines that sometimes become complicated in our search for these answers. Such cartoons shown here reminds me too how I got a kick out of them as a child.

Now as a student artist as a forty something, I find that the fine tuning of my hand and eye to work in synchronicity is the problem at present. Once an experienced eye highlights the area of concern, I too can see it, but on my own I skip these obvious observations. Hmmm, also the concentration span is very very short. So much to learn and do.

Where did that wraskilly rabbit go now! Whereths the whale? Woops thwere, I thawght I thaw it.
