Pat,
Well, honestly sometimes the envelope is not very nice to me all the time. On this drawing,
http://www.gloriadesign.com/images/bret1.jpg I took forever to place the eyes, and I think they're too high. I did the one in this thread to do something easier - I tend to create impossible projects for myself and wonder why they didn't work. This drawing took about 2 hours for the contour, and 3-4 hours for the shading. The other drawing took somewhat longer.
Linda,
Thanks! For the record, his head really is just slightly larger than regular humans. All the better to admire, I always say.
