What are you whining about !!??!! This is terrific! You get a few of these under your belt and you'll be FLYING. As I've always said - (since I was six): "if you can render a convincing nose, you can render anything." And that is one delicious schnozzle (i.e., beak, honker, hooter, nozzle, snoot, snout....schnoz). Good Lord!

Jimmie this is terrific! You are really showing us how you can turn forms descriptively with color. Keep going!

Stop stressing Jimmie, all your drawing is paying off in a big way. This looks like your style, it's fresh, sensual, and exciting!

Yeah, me too. Swore out loud when I opened this post up. Keep coming back to look some more.

Beautiful Jimmie!

Jimmie, Jimmie, Jimmie, if you only saw what mine look like when I am in a stress mode you'd wonder why you are stressing. If this is what you do when you are stressed I can't imagine what you will do when you feel like you have gotten the hang of it. I remember the first few times I used a pastel how awkward they felt to me, like I just didn't have much control (compared to drawing with a pencil). But once you get used to the way they feel in your hand, I bet you won't be so worried about what you are doing. You are definately a gifted man!
