Comment by Roena King on September 11, 2010 at 15:36: Hi Roger, Thank you. I am glad you enjoyed my graphite. I have not done much really, but I did learn a lot in the book. Mostly how to turn on at will the right brain and ignor the left brain. Have you ever seen the book? It is really good, and she teaches you so many tricks. I think you already draw pretty well so you might just give it a try. Set something up and "pay attention, talk to yourself (he he), and constantly compare the lines to the other lines or edge of the paper. You should try, I bet you can do it. Ro

Comment by Roena King on August 15, 2010 at 9:28: Thank you Elizabeth. I did learn something pretty important while doing this. If you draw very lightly and do your shading lightly, you can actually erase and totally change things without it showing! I changed the oval of the cup and saucer several times. No, now that I think about it, I learned that on the thumb on the drawing with my hand holding the banana. LOL Now I don't remember if I have put that drawing in my gallery here. If not, I will some day. Ro
