a sketch i did over the weekend to loosen up and try to get back into the groove of doing traditional art again.
i started out sketching with a thick soft pencil then tightened it up a bit with a tech pencil.
then i coated it with a spray on wood finish and added highlights with white acrylic and added some blacks with colored pencil.
i was pretty much making it up as i went along and having tons of fun doing it!
the wood finish actually works quite well. it seals and stains the drawing without covering it up or smudging the drawing like a wash of paint would do. plus it makes my sketchbook smell nice!

Gah, I don't know why, but I really, really like this picture. Therefore, I shall favorite it and wait until a later date at which I will be able to come up with another reason besides: It's nice.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
