Went through a lot of color choices and finally decided on this. I really want/need to loosen up but I also want to push to see how far I can retain some likeness. I think this still works and I like the result. Likely it won't go over well, but I'm kind of past that. I enjoy my work and look at it all the time. It's also been interesting to see what happens when I reach a skill level of drawing that allows me to rely less and less on replicating what's in front of me while still using reference. I erase so much less than I used to. Might be that I've reached the point where I can just take joy in the act of making and not pay as much attention to the tools or the skill. Well, that's the goal anyway.
