Joan — Your turtle is adorable, and so well done - the subtle shading you did on her neck and body are lovely


Thanks for your kind words

You mentioned, “Your lines are so neat in the continuous line. I tend to go over some spots more than once.”
I did as well, and if you want I can post a zoomed-in version of the top, showing my start and end point, and a couple of areas where I had to double back.
But yours are far more complex


and would naturally require more back tracking
JoC — Agree with Joan, thanks for hosting during the holidays again. I always look forward to the holidays, knowing that you’ll be with us, hosting and keeping the door open for all of us to stay close during the season.
