“Sleeping?” Part 2



“Sleeping?” Part 2
11x 14 pens & ink with water color,
At this time a computer was considered a dirty word I had very little use for one I didn’t even own one. As I mentioned in an earlier post what I was doing was rebuilding or relearning my craft I already had the job I was not looking to build a new portfolio.
Just getting down to basics given my self challenges working off themes that I enjoyed,
Example “Sleeping?” based on “The Hobbit” by J. R. R. Tolkien Smaug sleeping in dungeon-hall. The Scales took me about four and a half hours to ink alone It took me about two weeks from beginning to end to complete the piece.
Water color takes time to dry and some times I needed to let it dry over night just to see what the final color would look like. But I think you can tell that the work is starting to come together that I’m connecting the dots so to speak It takes me time to dig threw sketch books to find the art work I’m looking for but I’ll try to find some of the in-between work after Part 1 and this post we will call Part 2
