So Neal... check out the rib cage of fury on my drawing. I made her look about 15 pounds heavier with my crazy shading and her calf is a little low on her left leg - sorry if I hurt your feelings computer generated lady. I had a really hard time with this one and here is why. I pulled out all of my old drawing tools from when I was in school and found a few chalk pencils that hadn't been used along with a chamois and one of those gummy erasers. I was all excited and started drawing but the pencil was acting very strange, almost like it had aged or something. Finally, I looked at the description of the pencil and realized it was hard chalk instead of the ext. soft that I'm used to. It was tearing holes in the paper, no wonder I didn't use them back in school. Anyways, I dug around and found a soft pencil and started to sharpen it with an X-acto which broke the tip of the pencil off four times and I eventually wasted the whole blasted thing. My last resort was to pull out the chalk vine (which I was never good at using) and I found myself attending the school of hard knocks. In the end, the sketch I wanted to finish in 15 minutes took me 45. I've added a few more sketches that I did on Sat. and Sunday. A few from the Ensign and a few quick sketches of my kids (who were hard to sketch because once they realized I was drawing them, they would look at me every few seconds and pull faces).
As you can see, I'm trying to post everything even if I think it is downright horrible. Hopefully to see some improvement in the future.
Yes, my son had a large shirt on but probably not as big as I drew it.

Good job dearie!
It must be great fun to be able to entertain yourself where ever you are, sure makes life less boring!
It is easier, I'm sure, to have subjects that aren't moving.
These are all great....keep it up.
