A Couple More

Response: These are done in Charcoal. I never use Conte because it is nigh permanent.

trying something a little different

Since life has been pretty busy with work, home and the likes, I have taken to doing more sketchy stuff. It is a nice break and I feel like I get something a lot more spontanious and natural than I normally would have.

My girls art directed this one and I drew it. They wanted a Pete's Dragon piece but with Pete as a fairy princess. The last one is of a bad prince chasing a princess. I added the axe, much to their dismay and was forced to append it in another illustration where a good prince is chasing after the bad one. I still hold to my guns that this is the better of the two.
