A piece I just finished after chipping away on it for months, and the initial sketch for it.
I sketch last April. It was a one off sketch with no tweaks or overlaying, which is new for me. I think sometime around November 07 I banged the colour and lighting in really quickly, and then put it away until early January again. I picked it back up and painted right over it, which was another first. Anyway, I liked the process and I was fairly happy with how the painting went, I wasn't as laborious as my process usually feels, and I think it came through. It's a bit looser and there's more edge variation than I usually have. Hopefully it can be a benchmark process going forward...
