Jacob, Congratulations on a very good looking figure. I hope we see more from you soon. Ed Cepauskas

Roger, Graet job on your flats. It is good to see another member trying their hand at flats. You have the color scheme down. I would suggest that you be more bold with your lights and darks (highlights and shadows). A good way to approach flats (this advice was given to me by Knorad...

Wendy, Thats a great start. Looks like you have the knack for this. Try expanding the horse down. Ed Cepauskas

Rocky, You are off to a good start. It takes a few tries to get the techniques down. Just keep at it and don't try and please the forum, just be satified with yourself. As long as you feel you improve with each figure then you are heading in the right direction. It can be discourgaing to see...
