I remain convinced that art is learned and how good one gets at it depends on how persistent one is at it. <br />Interestingly enough, I enjoyed the movie more than the books so far. The movie and book are sufficiently different from each other to warrant taking a look at both.

My son took one look at my drawing and basically said it sucked. LoL ... sigh, the honesty of children is refreshing if somewhat a huge blow to one's ego.

So much I need to do that I should have done when I was younger (even if it's just nine months ^_^).

Your encouraging comments are most welcome. ^_^ Initially I was quite happy with my drawing but as I looked at it more and more, I realised that my drawing didn't look like the actress mainly because of two key issues - I drew her face/chin too long and made her eyes too big. That could be more issues but for now I can't spot it.FourEyedMonsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18161202517627920103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6509003442852854674.post-55343328917676718812015-05-03T01:30:40.201+08:002015-05-03T01:30:40.201+08:00Well done Kuan , i love it .
