Hi again, I'm sorry you feel impressed! I find your English perfectly

I like that idea.

Using gray looks like a good idea. Adding more contrast between the body
and the rings might make them more visible. I didn't notice them as
something of importance at first. I'm not sure I would find light gray
to look less anonymous than dark gray.

I didn't think about the importance of the geometry of the drawing to
fit into a square. That makes total sense.

I think we can spend some more time thinking about a different pose and
see what comes out of that.
