I still rely mostly on Latin when I want to understand French! I'm finally getting the hang of the major consonant changes. Only works in written French though. Or spoken when the speaker makes a five second pause after every word, but tell that to someone...
Two new ones in the works: My header gets its first and second splashes of colour. Some watercolour for the first wash, then acrylic ink for the next.

And a scene from the siege of Saguntum, where Hannibal was hit by a spear (hip or thigh, both sound majorly uncomfortable). Laying down composition in acrylic ink. In an image with so many people (and appendages in the same spot), you need to make sure you separate them clearly with light and shadow. Skin colours will help with that, too.
