McKelvey's Sketchbook

[iCi]

Instead of spending time on 'selfhelp' material, you will help yourself I lot more (at least it worked for me) by looking for tutorials and lessons and actually going through them with work, not just looking at them. Also, make your own lesson plans and go through them. That is where a student's time should be spent. Be thorough! I know it hurts.
You've got what it takes in terms of talent, I'd like to see you winning this battle. Cheers!
