This is the last sketch page, the next one will have name/blog info.
I have the cover and first title page to do...and fiddle around with the last few pages.
The thickness has made it a bit hard to scan properly....

I just want to thank you all for the encouragement and support.

If you lived here ......

bamboo steamer shop in Sai Ying Pun

This shop and the dried food / baskets shops may soon disappear from Hong Kong and be replaced by yet more designer stores as the M.T.R expands and rents become too high for small business.
Let's hope that some shops with character unique to H.K. remain

My friend and neighbour Makha Diop from Senegal.

Another big learning curve, when this project's over I want to tackle people on a larger scale.

I'm finding it hard to get the faces right at this size!
One minute they look O.K. and then one wrong tiny mark changes the whole thing!!! I think when you know a person it's harder. I may go back but still quite  few more pages to go.
