This is simply for the sake of practice. I’ve been working on it here and there for a few weeks. I’m drawing in colored pencil and then using alcohol to blend it and then going back over it with the colored pencil. Some things I’ve left untouched by the alcohol and whatnot.

In case anyone has been wondering where the hell all the art is lately, here’s the anti-climatic story: I spent half a month working on the Creature of the Week month-long challenge. I realized that I was not going to make the deadline, so I bailed. That left me with a semi-wasted half-month and 100 creature sketches that I may never scan. I have two smaller watercolors going, but I haven’t finished either. And, since November 1st I’ve been writing a novel for the NaNoWriMo challenge. So far, I’m on track. Aside from all that I have a number of sketches I will eventually scan.
So, for now, here are a couple of photos..
