    Critique Request First real drawing

    Hello Bryn, Couple of things to look into. In your first posted design the two lower left scrolls have too long and nearly straight origin of the backbone. Then the bottom center scroll is a large one originating from a smaller one. This area needs some more thought and design from you, please.
