Thanks very much.
I've actually had a little break from focus stacking this summer. I think my last one was in April but I enjoyed making these images as much as ever

Thanks for the nice comment but these aren't drawings - I wish I could draw that well lol.
I shoot a number of photos of the subject, each with a slightly different focus point and then merge them together in a process called focus stacking.
