self-important navel-gazing from someone who really ought to get out a bit more

on the desk...
illustrations for an ELT-type project... hand-drawn, scanned and converted to vector images, then coloured in Illustrator... spaces left in the centre are for text. [and i'm a bit disappointed with that gorilla]
he had elbows when i drew the rough i think...! don't know where they went in the meantime... it's also his colour or the tone [too dark, so he sinks back too far] and a gorilla's legs don't sit like that, they're more 'splayed' maybe... whatever it is, something's not right [these things keep me awake at night you know...]

I rather like the gorilla - though he looks a little disappointed. Transference?
is it becuase he has no elbows?
hi sarah and ian,
