~What, more?
~Yes, sorry. :blushes:

Some straightforward observational drawing from several years ago. - simply for 'archival' purposes, so to speak.

Oh, my goodness.
I'd love to become an illustrator myself, but everytime I see your work, it makes me stare in awe, and feel like it's foolish to even think about trying to do that as well.Wow.

Oh, no, you mustn't think that at all!

I know I think that too, and very often, when I see the work of those I admire. But take heart, keep trying and employ your strengths. There'll be something for which you'll be 'right'.

Are you serious, even YOU think so sometimes? I have to admit that's astonishing to me. =)
You know, it's not that I'm disabling myself, but the question is whether I have a chance when there are so many great illustrators in this world already. =)
Thanks anyway for the kind words, I'll take them to heart!

Yes, I feel it continually, truth be told. But I don't expect that's much different from many artists seeking to improve and evolve.

I understood you weren't disabling yourself. :nod: The world needs diversity and we're hopefully contributing to that.

Guess you're right... we should see diversity as a chance for everybody, not as a disadvantage for a handful of people. Thank you =)
