Sketchy




This is what I was in the mood to draw this morning. A really sketchy drawing, lots and lots of little thin lines, washes of textured color, mostly black. And the result- fun, fast movement. I like the line quality, it's delicate and without being wimpy. Thin lines that make powerful statements, I like the sound of that, makes me want to draw more like this one, many many more. Simplicity is such a breath of fresh air sometimes. Then again, maybe I'm just excited that it feels like Fall outside today, could be.

Awesome lines and I like the texture on the color!

Thanks!

I am excited about this one because I found a way in Photoshop to make the color spots look more inky. Is that a word, I don't think so but that's ok. :) It was really fun to try that.

Thanks Michelle! This was really fun to draw. One of those rare times when something just really flows together, you feel like a spectator of sorts in the process, if that makes sense.
