blue is generally reflected in black pam and once I phoned my sister as I was drawing a portrait and asked if I was seeing a hint of green in a mans mousy blond hair and the answer was yes so it went in and worked . I am colour blind and have difficulty defining light blue from gray which reflects in the blue chimp on my web site but it works well . I wont let it be my last im going to try lots of things . I have a beautiful moth to draw and a blue metallica teratulla next ow and a horse lol . thanx again x .

i want to do some building i think at some point . i just bought another drawing board for £25 which is a result so i can draw 2 at once rather than stop perhaps .

They look so comfortable Leigh. How on earth do you manage to produce such great pictures if you have some colour blindness?
