They love it!

The client loves the pastel, stray hair and all! It makes things simpler for me.

I wish Dan hadn't mentioned putting on the tie though. I keep seeing that now. Perhaps the drum sticks need to be rendered just a tad more to keep the viewer's mind on track. I wouldn't obscure the drums.
Dear Steve,

Thanks so much for your encouragement and vote of confidence! I really respect your work. I am not sure if I will do much more with this pastel anyway, since it is merely a working cartoon and has served it's intended purpose. I should tweak the drumsticks and a few things. I don't care for the blurred version all that much. Your insight is very helpful.

Garth
