If you want to see what I was working from click here.
I pushed my Bienfang sketchbook paper well beyond its water media capabilities and ended up overworking it.
But while my perspective is not perfect, I was quite pleased over all with the drawing, which took about 15 minutes to complete. I do wish I had scanned it before adding in colour though.
I really need to do a value study of the original and compare it to mine so I can see where I would need to fix it if the paper were to tolerate it. I know in my heart and mind that value studies are a key tool to being happy with the finished product but my lack of patience always gets in my way.
ETA- In the meantime, I put this into drafts while I searched out how to do a screencapture - easy, peasy in the end. So here are the images in grayscale. This really does help me to see the value and perspective lines better and not get caught up in the details, which is what usually happens.
Okay, definitely need to add routinely doing value studies to my New Year's art resolutions LOL!
