| I know you wont regret it Kevin.
The book isnt so much about drawing as it is about observing. I really enjoy it.

Did you all make your own viewfinder/crosshair setup or did you buy one?

| Gees Bob, you're way ahead of me, don't give away the plot, LOL. I'm also in the middle of 2 Dean Koontz novels and am reading Duginske's bandsaw handbook after a little oops with my bandsaw.

| My current bedside reading is "The Boy Mechanic: 200 Classic Things to Build" which is a collection of ancient articles from Popular Mechanics magazine. The folding boat and the "house made from poles" have to be seen to be believed.
It really ought to be called: "Things for Carl Must Do"...
