Unfinished.

My 2016 fake character has some of the same friends that a fake character from several years ago has. Wonder how that could be? (Hint: nose, hair, ears.) (Maybe I need to have a quiz? I miss having quizes.)

I will have something to say about this piece on Roz Wound Up at some point after this posts.

Left: My character was sketching Richard again. You can click on the image and read the side notes in an enlargement.

Today I have two images in the post because besides the finished piece my character likes to make correction notes. I thought it would be fun to show the overlay she did after the final sketch to make reminders for herself on where she would make corrections in a final painting.

Left: Overlay with some ink thoughts for corrections. I think she needs to go a lot further and correct the slop as well as the distances. Click on the image to view an enlargement.

This was one of the more fun days of the project. For a brief moment I didn't miss gouache, and enjoyed my character's enjoyment of watercolor.
