THAnkyou Ken. So grateful for the advice with stumping. My main issue in drawing is been accurate. Yet the few lessons I have here in the uk they teach to stump you work to blend. I find the stump so annoying because you can’t be precise with it. I shall joyfully ignore the stump advise I have been given now. Thanks!
