sketching

I try to sketch every night. It helps me be a better artist. I try to include the 3 P's in each sketch.  Here are two that I did this morning.

This is my new favorite:


It is funny how I get attached to a character. Every once in awhile, there is a character I really feel joy drawing. This is one for sure.  The first is just an idea sketch. The second is my watercolor sketch. I can't wait to see how it all turns out. the painting is my favorite part. Adding color just feels so gratifying. I have a story idea for her and can't wait to put it to paper. But first, I must paint my little friend and sew Halloween costumes, too!
