Another Character Design

For the last two years I've been on a bit of a journey in terms of my painting style.  I have never been fully satisfied and have been trying otu new things and new techniques.  Every time I saw a flawlessly rendered painting I would want so badly to do the same.  Then I'd see a beautifully inked watercolor and get pulled back in that direction.

For this piece I decided to simply go back "home."  I went back to my old way of painting for this one, but first took the time to concentrate on outlines.  I also left in all of the sketchy layers to simulate a partially erased sketch on watercolor paper.

Anyway, one thing I learned is that as an artist, sometimes it's just better to go back home.  Go out and journey and wander.  Try new things, learn new things, but go back home with all your new experiences and you'll find that you have grown in unexpected ways during your journey.
