Thank you for doing that tutorial for us Rhoda.

I see you started off using a pencil, then do I see you using coloured pencils?

It looks like fun. How long have you been drawing?

You sound like a very talented lady Rhoda.

I will listen to your music later, as I am busy with my nail clients at the moment.

Also, so as to not hijack your sketch thread, maybe if you could set up another Topic elsewhere about yourself so we could discuss your 'other talents' more thoroughly :smile:
