I notice that I often need spend quite some time with my personal work for it to develop into something I'm happy with. Often well into rendering. Which is not an ideal time to make adjustments. Maybe I should try working on multiple illustrations at once so I can sit with the sketches longer.

Managed to get in some life drawing this January and decided to make use of my oil pastels. Especially like the blue and pink for using minimal information to describe the form
