A sketch of a National Geographic magazine cover that reminded me of the vampire Lady Nyissa from Dakota Frost, Skindancer.
Yeah, I’m not liking the broad lines of these colored pencils or the roughness of the texture I can get out of this charcoal pen, especially compared to my preferred comfort zone of pencils-then-ink for line art then Photoshop for color. And you can even see a bit of the previous page, where I’d been sketching the logo to the old space furry comic Dalgoda. Ugh!
But, as my wife and I were talking … you have to put pen to paper in order to improve. So … sigh … lots more work to be done improving will require lots more work that, um, sucks.
Still … Drawing. Every. Day.
