I started to learn pencil drawing last week and have posted some of my initial work. My nephew back in China has also started learning painting about 3 weeks ago. He's more talented and making much better progress than me. Here's some latest works from him. It proves to me that as long as we put in hours and stay focus, we will be able to get to a better self always. Now I have a competition and can't really give me an excuse for being too busy and not working on my pencil drawing skill. :)
