Drawing Time

Reminding myself I can still draw with a real pencil. I've been doing too much digital work and felt like I was loosing my touch. I left my sketch lines in these, didn't do any cleaning up this time. I also have been using some old watercolor pencils that I've let go unused for years... it also makes me be more confident in my mark making since there is no erasing with them.

This painting started out as kind of a rough pencil drawing. I didn't bother to clean up the pencil much at all and painted right on top of it in photoshop. Some of the traditional linework is still visible in the digital version. I had fun painting in a messy and careless way... sometimes that's the best way to do it. Took me about 2.5 hours.
