- Great lens. Thanks for sharing this information. Just a note, I looked at the video and the dancer was very clearly spinning clockwise. However, my seven year old daughter, who spends a lot of her time drawing, said the dancer was spinning counter clockwise. Anyway, thank you very much for this great lens.

- My wife (Ramkitten) told me about this lens and that I should take a look. I'm glad I did. Awesome! I've been dabbling in a bit of realism lately (well, my version of realism, I guess), and this lens is very inspiring and helpful. I love your step-by-step images and seeing the work evolve.

- This is great! I really enjoyed looking through the images and love how you show each step. I used to sketch quite a lot but seem to have lost the ... patience? I'm not really sure what it is, but I sure do appreciate it and really enjoy watching my husband draw, paint, sculpt ... whatever his current art project involves. I just sit, watch and think. Anyhow, I love your lens and will definitely tell my Squidoo-ing husband to come take a look too.

- I'm visiting from Squidoo Lens Reviews too! Congratulations on a great review and feature. This is a good lesson for all of us in most of the things we do. Sketch it out good enough, and then work toward perfection.
