Nice, it's always great to see your pencils and just how much you put in at this stage.

I'm looking forward to this – the first one was great and I wondered how they'd top that, but then I saw their creator line-up… Can't wait.

That left hand is amazing. When is this due for release?

I'd love to know how much scribbling you do before this stage. Do you tend to get the proportions right first time (you have been doing this a while after all!) or do you still have to work at that?

Proportions right first time but downhill after that. Hands took ages, right one still needs work. Pleased with boots though.
