Ngaire - thanks! I really enjoyed doing the hair on no. 2 - guess the enjoyment seeped through.
You're right about the practice. I got to where I didn't need to measure things (other than one or two quick comparisons); just draw. I practiced a fair bit before the Christmas season, though, and my first few tries were horrible. Practice really made a difference.

And, wow, David, thanks for the kind words! I dont gravitate towards detailed renderings - seem to have some sort of "artistic ADHD" when it comes to that, so I try to give the gist.
