Do you find it difficult drawing from the shadows up? I mean, I can see what's there from the shadows, but I'm not entirely sure whether its just obvious to everyone, or part of my weird pattern recognition thing that gives me dragons and skulls in Thomas's works

Would it pop a bit more, do you think, if you intensified the shadows?
Thanks Mouse!
It's time consuming, but not really difficult. I'm lacking practice and I don't always know how to add or represent things, but that's only because I'm not so used to it.
I lowered the opacity of the shadows...
Here it is with 100% opacity. Better?
