Hey guys,

 I wish I had more to post but I've been filling in extra hours at work and as I've addressed before, I often run myself ragged before I can put any energy into my art. That and it's been so freakin' hot here in Queensland, it makes drawing traditional graphite virtually impossible without each piece of paper sticking to me.

So here's an update on the carried away digital sketch from last week. I decided I couldn't keep going digitally without destroying detail or changing it irreparably, so I printed it out and drew over it. Ideally I'd print it out in a blue hue but my printer was bust so I used a toner printer, which left a very obvious half-tone pattern. Call it an accidental texture. It wasn't so blatant as I drew over it but when I scanned it in again it was very bold and hard to get around so I left it. Lesson learned. 

Having a sketch done digitally and establishing the concept before making the commitment to print it out and carry it through to a final sketch makes the process faster and more definite. Digital sketch to traditional illustration is becoming an ideal practice.
