  1. Wonderful sketches as always. I think we don't need a picture from the dog. Your drawing is clear enough! Did I say that I love your style ;-)

    >Your drawing is clear enough!
    i wasn't sure, as the light/shadow contrast is really pushed to an extreme level.

    >Did I say that I love your style ;-)
    you might like the paintings of Bato Dugarzhapov, he paints so that things are both lost but also super clearly there, both at once
