Quite nice. I, as nesgran said, prefer your whiskey shot as well. It definitely makes me want lemonade, but I’m not sure how I feel about the empty space in the lower right. That is just my opinion, however. Now to find some lemonade…
I wouldn’t say you’re a fauxtog. While there are some issues with consistency, most of what I’m seeing is of significantly higher quality than what I consider a fauxtog to be. More practice and more critiques would suit you well (it would suit most of us well, right?) but you’re on your way. You’re an advanced novice, I’d say.
