It's perfect. It looks like good photography but it's drawing. Totally amazing.

Thank you Terry, that's me up to date now.
So wont be posting drawings as often, still working on "Gridless", but they do take a while.

Thanks David, this was my "Comeback" piece after nearly a 2 year break, I really wanted to see what I was capable of achieving. Pretty pleased with the result, took my time and I think it shows.

I look at Armin Mersmann's work, and realise I still have a way to go yet, but still learning.
