I'm not thrilled with this one. I really think it ought to be an ink drawing, but I have as much mastery of that medium as I do at watercolor, i.e. none. Also, I hate doing backgrounds. And it shows.

This also shows how poor my drawing technique has become. :-/

But, as a sketch, it's not bad. I suppose. (It does look better in person. I wish I had a scanner, as it might come out better scanned rather than photographed.)

Anyway...

And one where I messed with the level a bit more:





Take your pick as to which you like best.
