I have been venturing more on my own recently and this was the perfect class to help me achieve that goal.  You walk through the steps necessary to get it all started and it helped give me ideas on where to put details and other areas where I used color to emphasize details.  He looked plain without background so I just started to loosely add a background.  This hasn’t always worked for me, but it did this time as I am quite pleased with the overall esthetic I wanted to convey.  Thanks again Lyndsay for a wonderful class I will watch again.  Now I want to paint a donkey :) :)

Thank you Carmen for suggesting I add the catch light to eyes :)
