I am a humorous, rhyming, poet. I do a Photo Shop drawing for each poem that I write(1600 so far). mine are simple cartoon drawings. I wish that I had your talent. If you have time to look at some kid friendly poetry on my web site, I would love any advice that you might have that would make my drawings better.
