This was an unfinished demo piece from a Citra Solv workshop that I finally got around to finishing up this week. I love using Citra Solv altered papers to make these little birds! I added some detail with a dip pen, and some batik fabric leaves to this 11 x 14 canvas board. I had an old barnwood frame that finished off the piece perfectly since barns and sparrows are forever linked in my mind.
This was the last week of Inktober and I made it! I even have tomorrow’s drawing done ahead of schedule to finish up the month of inking. Admittedly, most of my sketches were of the 5 or 10 minute sort, and not the elaborate drawings I have seen other’s doing, but I am still proud of myself for simply showing up each day and doing something in my sketchbook. I hope I keep the habit up… though I intend to follow a theme through November. Probably back to my faces, which I have continued, but not daily.
So to wrap up the rest of the week.
