Felt like sketching the elf yesterday, so I did. The one thing that makes me happy, after all these years, is that I have finally learned to loosen up when drawing. It's been the one stylistic challenge I've had forever. And I'm letting details be way out of proportion if that's how it goes. Here, his hands are gigantic and yet I like them. Since I'm only making this for me, I have that option. Also, this sketch shows a good deal of the under-scaffolding so, if one cared, they could see how I got here. Just pencil and paper.
