Wow!

Wish I could do that. I love art but don't have an arty bone in my body.

I have only just received the March journal (my fault I forgot to renew) and have seen Gillians enormous plant - Gillian if you are looking - please send me some pictures, I would love to draw it. The one in the drawing was collected in 1986/7 by Alan Butler, or so I think, he used to travel to Arabia when Brookside was down south somewhere before Wales, and always had interesting bits, particularly Stapeliads.

I suspect anyone can draw, it's just a few pencils and pens - I have a few spare if anyone want's to have a go - perhaps a tutorial at the Convention?

Ctrl+ makes it bigger - there are thousands of dots :shock:

Brilliant as usual Lithos. Anyone who thinks they can't draw should maybe get hold of a copy of Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards and devote some time to doing some of the exercises. I particularly like the one where you copy a drawing that is upside down and then turn it the right way up. A tutorial would be good too, nice idea

Amazing work Phil! I wish I could draw anything half as good as that.
