0 - 4It's a sketch of a sculpture, and that naturally doesn't have the same effect as sketching a live model. But passers-by think it's handsome. One of them even leaves you a gift.
5 - 9It's a sketch of a sculpture, and that naturally doesn't have the same effect as sketching a live model. But passers-by recognise the quality of your line-work anyhow. One of them even leaves you a gift.

5+You have a vision […] that emulates the line of the statue but brings its surroundings to imagined life. The results[…] are disappointing. Oh, the passers-by don't know any better. Some […] think your work is quite good. But it isn't what you meant to draw.
