Hi Paul,
Thank you for the nice comments
I learnt how to draw kind of the same way you're working on your skills right now. Your drawings and paintings are great and I am sure you are going to create very strong artworks soon! I had to stop drawing for about eight years, but when you come back to your first love, it is such a strong feeling that you can overcome almost any obstacle.
I wish you tons of courage to follow your path and hope to see more works of yours too!
