Description
9"x12" ink pen and wash on watercolor paper
Reference:
This is in my scraps because I drew it on the wrong paper. I grabbed a cheap watercolor pad because it's been so long since I did one of these and I didn't want to waste good paper if it turned out bad. Unfortunately, that means in places the wash obliterated the texture of the paper and turned a swampy grey color. There's no fixing it. Never, ever, ever use Academy brand watercolor paper for anything wet - only for sketching.
I would be more upset about the paper flub, but I like the piece enough that I am going to redo it with some alterations and improvements to the overall composition. It also took me nearly half the drawing before I got the hang of ink wash again, so the next rendition should have much better shading on the face.
