Well, just to update all of you who are following my incredible journey, I drew two bananas last night...it doesn't get much better than that, does it! Btw Ellie, I bought the book and there is not one fruit sketch in it. Whoever heard of sketching without fruit, can it be done???? I was considering sketching a banana between two apples but I thought I'd wait until my skill level improves. It'll give me something lewd and crude to shoot for.
