My book is almost done! It has taken three months of extreme concentration and drawing from sunup until sundown, but the great majority of the book is finally done. I need to add a few things here and there at the suggestion of my editor. I am grateful for her objective eyes seeing things I would have missed while I was looking elsewhere.<\/p>\n

I can’t give you a title yet and I don’t know exactly when it will be released but I can tell you that I’m very pleased to have done this work. It will be a good book about drawing, I can promise you that.<\/p>\n

I’ll let you know more as I know more myself.<\/p>\n
