I can feel the light in this one!

Paul, in my opinion, this is the best bit of drawing I've seen you post here. How many hours? Ma'am is right yet I'm still outwardly craving for some depth to your shadows. I know they have to be much darker than you give them credit for.

Enbrethiliel, :) I hope I've done my job then! I've been putting my desktop lamp to use. It makes for much more concise subjects.

Christopher, I know exactly what you mean about the shadows. The same thing was nagging me (and still nags me when I look at it); I'm sometimes conflicted between deepening a shadow and showing the varying tones within a shadow.

I would say I spent around five to six hours on it - not all in one sitting. I'm not exactly sure though, for as you know how time often goes out the window when working at something.

Thank you both for the kind words!
