aww, thanks

When I was doing it, I didn't realize the eye was so much darker than everything else, haha. I had a bit of a moment when I looked back at it later.

I feel like the rest of it is kind of a blah-y grey...agree? I need to find somewhere to put darker tones to kind of counteract the I, I think.

You're the second person to mention fixative to me - I'd never heard of it before my grandpa told me about it a few weeks ago. He was really pushing me to get fixative, and both kinds so I'm pretty sure I'll be getting some as a Christmas present from my grandparents, lol. If not...I'll run up to Michaels next week and see what they have. I'm giving another girl at the barn a picture of her pony for her birthday present [which I'm not happy with but she loves it] and I noticed already it's getting a little smudgy so I'll have to spray that too.

Woops, I ramble!
