a few months later: fix both their anatomy & faces
later: photograph & scan in
still later at work: sketch the background shapes on a post-it & take pic w/ phone. send to myself
week later: put them together in SAI as layers and turn them this way and that
couple days later: fix my pen settings so i can use the thing

any tiny burst of energy, i try to develop something, like nurturing a tiny flame from a match!
