    That's a really great piece! Good compositon, value contrast, and a fun, fun subject! It brings on a smile at the pure whimsy of nature's creatures. I love it and the haiku both!

    Thank you so much for the mention and I'm glad I inspired you to sketch in ink!! Your frog is brilliant - I love the composition - those feet are so cute. Funny enough I did a frog last week which I haven't blogged yet as I'm about 10 sketches ahead of myself in blogging terms!!
    I hope we'll see many more ink sketches from you soon!

    I love the expressiveness of your ink work. The shading is great -- looks like the frog is going to leap off the page. Vibrant work and wonderful haiku.
