Another sketch that needed to see the light of day. The sketch itself was something I worked on on a flight to stay entertained. I had a real nice conversation with a business man from Korea because of it; he kept looking over my shoulder and started asking questions. It was alot of fun lol!!

I thought this would be easier to accomplish because of what I needed; ink, water and paper. I've done ink wash before, this should be no problem. I should know better by now...lol!

The biggest hurdle was layering. I don't get another chance to fix something in ink if it's too dark so I was just doing dozens of super thin layers all over her to make sure everything looked okay. Then I had to wait for it to dry. I hate waiting for things to dry. Especially if I have nothing else to work on in the meantime. I keep touching it to see if it's dry enough to go back into, smear something, rework it, wait and most likely smear something again LOL.
I think the only thing I'm wondering about with this is if I should've used some other color to get more depth in those shadows. I can always do a wash digitally (alot of people suggested that actually!) or if I should just leave it as is. I may throw it on PS and tinker with it in the future. For now, here it is in it's inky glory lol!
