mac - i'v been lost in a work induced haze - must fight the haze. cheers
bill - considering your skills I'll take that as a good sign too work harder

pauline - ta, btw who does she look like? I've missed seeing everyone's progress!
bernie - thanks dude - hopefully more will follow eventually
I feel like this is as much a success for me cause its more of a complete 'picture' rather than just one of my random learning studies. So I'm glad of it, but realise in hindsight its only not so crap cause I forced myself to suppress my terrible impatience when it comes to finishing a drawing properly... had to learn sometime i guess
cheers.
