I so agree about scanning pencil -- so very difficult to capture the subtle nuiances that you can see in real life -- despite all that -- it's a terrific sketch! And yes, journaling -- it does take a bit of effort -- but oh my, going back to reread your own words -- well, well worthwhile!Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16962094268196360875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34303509.post-8433286579232181402007-10-20T10:35:00.000-07:002007-10-20T10:35:00.000-07:00Thank you Joe.

Maybe reading about it will help motivate me.Nancy Van Blaricomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17030893675129815727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34303509.post-67506307719231858322007-10-20T08:42:00.000-07:002007-10-20T08:42:00.000-07:00Really nice sketch, Nancy!Really nice sketch, Nancy!Joe Kazimierczykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16936183292787898260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34303509.post-76551201401069013912007-10-20T06:38:00.000-07:002007-10-20T06:38:00.000-07:00Lovely sketch Nancy!
