Exactly. So when you poke it you may hear a hollow sound.

Okay. I'll check that again. Two aspects of digital drawing have me
utterly addicted: no clean-up required (more important in the painting
arena) and the fact that anything can be edited. It's got me spoiled.
And it shows the value of sharing works in progress. I always
appreciate people helping me make my work better.

At least nothing so horribly grim. I'm wanting now to test out what E.
said about reading in dreams. It's true I can't remember any dreams in
which I have done so. But I have had a couple where I know that I've
spoken or heard Japanese and understood it.
