Raven Found a Lunch
I have been documenting on twitter the process of "Raven found a Lunch"
It's how I work as an artist from sketch to finish artwork.
I thought it would be nice to have it all in one blog post

I work with Waterproof India ink I usually start with a wash of ink before watercolor is added.
Watching watercolor dry
Still have time to F this up ;)
