Iva, can I put these links in here? Just some art programs and websites I have been researching ( I can add others, if that is okay?) -- Please let me know if this is the right place to add these links, as they have inspired me to some degree or have taught me some things, as well:


This is an abstract drawing/drawing program website:
Drawing - Abstract

This is a "make a cartoon you" website:
Cartoon You

How to draw, pen and ink, sketching website links inside:
Draw, Sketch, Pen & Ink Links

Webcrawler - Pen and Ink, Sketches, etc.

Okay, so this was an interesting newsbit:

I love the four seasons picture. It shows perfectly the beauty of every time of the year.

You rock, rock.
The rock just sits and is.
You show us how to just sit here and that’s what we need.”
