pub sign- continued

this project has proved to be something of a love and hate relationship, i love working on it but hate the end results. I hit a rut and so decided to re pencil the drawing to make the hair appear more natural and give the animals a bit of energy, i will post the pencils when i get round to scanning them in the meantime the inks.

 

fresh from the scanner the inks (above) and some rough water colouring, my reason for the latter is something of an experiment. it means i can apply the washes digitally with none of the commitment of having to paint over the originals. the inks took several attempts on rice paper and then eventually i settled on cartridge, the main aim was to beef the lines up a bit.
