Description
This drawing took me a minute, mainly because I was trying to learn as I went. I spent a lot of time on separate sheets of paper practicing and trying different techniques. I spent the most practice drawing clouds, which I eventually decided against even using in this picture. I experimented with charcoal for the first time. I watched multiple YouTube videos, looking for useful tips. I also spent a lot of time staring at different parts, dreading starting on it with pen, afraid that I might make a mistake with ink that would ruin the whole picture.
The main challenge I faced when drawing this picture, was protecting it from my kids, who couldn't keep from bumping into and shaking the table I was working on. My 5-year-old got food on it a few times. Plus, certain parts of this were placed specifically to cover up marks they made with a blue and red marker.
