I found these pretty amazing. I havent found something breathtaking though. The animation summed things up for me. 

New Year! first week

Coolness. I like progress, its good. So now we're doing this shading thing, light and dark contrasts, very cool, but time consuming!! I prefer the texture that appears when one rubs the charcoal off, Its more visually interesting in comparison to gesso. Though gesso is more likely less time demanding, so yea. Lets see what the semester holds shall we?
