Little Red and the Wolf

 
"Little Red and the Wolf"
I feel like I am coming awake after a long sleep,
and my imagination is firing off fun ideas.

"Just a quick sketch "

 
"Just a quick sketch, doodle or warm up before I start my day"
 
 I see this statement often on twitter
and it make me wonder how can that be a quick sketch?
A well rendered colored piece of artwork
a quick sketch for me is a bunch of lines usually done with a ballpoint pen and it takes me all of few seconds to finish it.
Most of the time I am the only one who would understand it.
Not what looks like finished artwork
The Pomeranian above started as a "quick sketch" that led to a

 
unsuccessful first attempt and a second much happier attempt that I posted on twitter
 and an Art Director loved it, so I mailed her the original a couple days ago as a gift
hope it show up today.
 
 
So this is my morning quick sketch
