The human figure is my favorite to draw, especially hands (they can be a challenge). My strengths are that I have a keen eye/hand and render well. Sharp contrasts with light and dark are my favorites too. My weakness is that I want to make one tiny little thing better, and in the process ruining the entire thing. I have a hard time leaving something that isn't perfect.
