Song

This week's theme at Illustration Friday is "Song". Black gel pen with watercolor. I pleased with it except that the shadow is too busy and dark. I think next time I'll either sketch the shadow and leave it OR add the shadow when I watercolor, not both! It's funny how we look but don't see. I've looked at many a sketch blog yet I can't think how this is usually done. I know there are no rules per se but there are tried and true methods as to what really does look best. I do know this isn't quite it. Click image for a larger view.

Loved the illo, the story, AND reflection about looking vs. seeing. Ain't THAT the truth!! It's like the calamity that happens when I only get to look at something once and then try to draw it....
