Module 8 "Raphael"

Ok, so we had to copy a Raphael, no pressure right? I must admit, the intimidation factor was running pretty high on this one. I judiciously measured for hours to get all the parts in the right places. In the end it was worth it though, I received my first "A" in Figure Drawing.
