Every time I look at your work and I remember that I did not finish my project!
Now doing repairs in the apartment for the new year.

Dam it Shawn Ive just spent 2 1/2 hour looking at your shading against the way it pops out with depth and other top notch guys and man I have to say it's driving me crackers even last night I was looking at it must have laid awake for an hour trying to get my head around it and some of phil coogan's bulino work even though it's a hobby for me you guy's may just be the death of me or I'll just may have to go back to the lawnmowers !!

Thanks again for all the great comments
Hope I can keep the progress rolling as I can see that I have a lot of room for improvement

How is the shading done. I'm blowing it up as large as I can and still can't see lines. Is the picture not clear or am I missing some technique that does this?
