terribly late

Where I am, Friday is over, and I am posting last week's IllustrationFriday drawing.
I had this idea in my head ever since I first heard what the topic was, but I didn't have time to actually do it, so ... here it is ...

 IF warning

I'm being pretty obsessed by textures lately, and I keep adding layers over layers. I might try making a collage  and then trying to paint over it. Will let you know how it goes :)

OK OK, I get it!





sketch 1
Of course, these attacks always catch me off guard, and no matter what I was doing, I have to stop, and play with Their Royal Highnesses: Mr Simon the almighty Cat, and Lady Maja.

Usually, I do a sketch, like this first one, and the next one is on the paper where I'll finish the drawing, where I draw with my pencil, and erase, and draw and erase and so on until I'm happy with it, or until the paper decides it had had enough, and becomes unusable.

sketch 2
This time I tried producing one extra, a bit more elaborate sketch to give myself a chance to make some adjustments, and so I did ... obviously ... but it still feels like a waste of time.

I guess the moment an idea materialises even roughly on paper, it stops being fresh, and I lose interest.
