Another week flew by. Or rather crept, as it seemed very long and New Year doesn't feel so new anymore. The first half of the week as I've written in my midweek report was rather challenging, so many drawing attempts were turning out less than perfect. But I also had a strike of inspiration following … Continue reading Week 2 of 2017: Fails and victories
