I like them all and they are all done with such delicacy.<BR/><BR/>KarenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6391600460847704245.post-70105489711492017322008-07-01T16:02:00.000-04:002008-07-01T16:02:00.000-04:00Three lovely sketches Ann.

Maybe I need two heavy rocks.

To correct this I have had to hold my sketchbook pressing down while it scans fairly hard where the shadow tends to fall.. Give it a go..it bothered me for quite a bit as well...results seem much better now...:) Good Luck! :)Margaret Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04222261903697956295noreply@blogger.com
