HO SKETCHBLOG what i'm going to be looking at, so i dont need to be reminded thru the course of viewing ur work. if u MUST place such text into the pic, make it a part of the pic instead of slapping it on top as the last thing. give more thought to the actual design of the thing.<BR/><BR/><BR/>simple stuff. good drawing. suggestions. nothing really wrong with the work. keep at it or i will declare a vendetta.<BR/><BR/><BR/>peace, luv & chicken grease!<BR/><BR/><BR/> ~ meAtomic Swan Serials and If - E - Zinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11033977330353187241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37337118.post-3920000594775925702007-03-13T10:15:00.000-07:002007-03-13T10:15:00.000-07:00I really like this little guy..
