I've taken the plunge and plunged straight out of my comfort zone.
Decided to draw our eldest daughter with our youngest cat.
Decided to go for it and use an unfamiliar paper, unfamiliar graphite clutch pencil, an unfamiliar subject and push that boundary a wee bit further away.
After hours of committed work,  I am happy to see that I have reached another mile stone in my work.  Never before had I been able to draw a loved one without tearing up the drawing before completion!
