Fufu... well those street artists sometimes can draw phenomenal things very very quickly, and other artists can just sketch up hands, faces or mechanical parts without so much as a second guess. But admittedly, skill like that would undoubtedly require years of practice -- I used to not be able to survive Anime eyes without reference shots and now I can do them with my eyes closed (although not necessarily on the same take).
I'm still giddy with excitement about the wedding, do be sure to keep us posted on that. ^__^
Besides that and my latest Ubunchu gig, there's not much I can tell you. Everything at least around here in DA has been pretty much standard-issue. ^^
