More, more, more!
Sarah McIntyre was a real inspiration today. So I’m having another go at daily sketching action.

Comment by Guthrie January 30, 2009 @ 8:37 am[…] is the perfect character study for me and looks much like my Funeral Director with a long pale face, often dressed in black, although no Victorian would’ve heard of […]
