Awww. That bites about your internet connection. But it may be a blessing in disguise. Tumblr has managed to suck me dry of several hours without me realizing it. :P

Thanks for the encouragement on my sketch. I am beginning to be able to see where the flaws are when I'm drawing now, and it's been fun to try and figure out how to work around it, to learn perspective, anatomy, etc... I figure it's rare for a person to start out and just get it right, so I try not to judge myself too harshly and just do it daily, then look back at the beginning and see that improvement is happening. :P
