I want to finish it, but I'm about 3,500 miles away from it and my studio. I'm currently working on some childrens book ideas since sketchbooks are easier to pack and don't require tubes of paint to carry through customs.Erika Steiskalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07729405045662802753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1655261614359902316.post-90033521778648645012009-07-29T22:11:00.941-07:002009-07-29T22:11:00.941-07:00oh, so much eye candy! First of all, I think your...oh, so much eye candy! First of all, I think your strongest sketch is the one of the coffee shops with the trees. I like seeing the figures (which you are sooooo good at) in an environment. Second of all, the Italy painting you are doing is going to be lovely and can't wait to see the final. Thirdly, Bernanke is looking great. You shouldn't stress about the people in the background though; you could spend years working on the illustration if you do that! Think about a deadline; you just got the final sketch approved and the final art is due tomorrow. Find ways to simplify. Love it, and can't wait to see more! Miss you!Cat Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06955037772946948978noreply@blogger.com
