So, . . . often when I sketch out a new design, I have a hard time deciding what exactly to do with it next.
Hmmm, should I simply ink it out on paper, art pencil, maybe paint it on canvas . . .
I know, watercolor!
Actually watercolor was LAST thing I did with this design. First it was a basic sketchy ink drawing with little white highlights.
Then I decided it needed to be a little more defined, and colors more intense so I put it on darker paper.
This happens a lot in my studio - I have made MANY versions of MANY designs. Sometimes it's hard to decide which one I like the best.
I would guess that this monkey & kitty will probably be painted on canvas one day too.
