      Hi everybody! Finally found the time to finish a piece after a while. I made a drawing for a very good friend of mine in Chile to thank him for his support in a project in the lab. Hi is a scientist, too, and likes to climb in his free time. Even if he doesn't look like (:-)), he has some Swiss blood in his veins and works with plants in his own projects. So I found both facts can be represented best by the Edelweiss. Any feedback is very much appreciated.
      🙂

        This is really nice @Jana! I'm sure your friend will love it... The one thing that stands out to me is the nearest hand, I know the other fingers are similar but the extended finger looks a bit swollen at the tip, and I'm sure he is meant to be about to place his hand on the rock, but it does also remind me that he could be making a rude gesture..maybe would read better with more fingers extended? But great work! 🙂

          Thanks for your feedback, @Dulcie. 😊 In fact the finger is meant to point to the Edelweiss flower. Maybe I have to redo it if it is misleading. I know he cannot see the flower yet. It is more like ... Maybe behind the next rock I'll find something.
