Stay cool, calm, collected, and try to get intelligent.
It's good to have intelligence and not need it, than needing intelligence and not having it.

Hopelessness is an iron cell, lost and buried beneath the floor of hell; where the king who wore the iron crown, shall lose his soul far underground.

Said Hamlet to Ophelia,
I'll draw a sketch of thee,
What kind of pencil shall I use?
2B or not 2B?

Wow. Hit another out of the ball park. :omg:

Just amazing. Few artists are ever able to separate thier subjects from the backgrounds. You did a complete job of sharpening your edges on the subject...and blurring the background.

:worship: The master of the colored pencil.....

Your focus determines your reality. So be mindful of your thoughts.

Ask it what it has to teach you then let it go. It only has as much power over you as you give it.
