Hey Carl.

Wow this sketchbook is really a hidden gem!

I love that sculpture of the troll head, that's soo cool man, and I bet you learn a lot with that stuff.

Teapots look fantastic, what a lovely shape and you really nailed the perspective, which is dead hard on thos bad boys.

Keep it all up you appear to be doing all the right stuff!

[CarlSpringer]

Time Keeper. a painting i did for college, really enjoyed working on this piece using a different brush and just playing, but with so much going on i didnt get to clean it up anywhere near where i wanted to, although its the most fun ive had on a piece it felt loose all the way through . still learning
