I was digging through some old files today and came across this Baroness.  What’s unique about it, as with a few other drawings of mine that I’ve seen pop up on the internet lately, is that…I don’t remember drawing it.

I’m realizing that I’ve drawn so much over the last few years that there’s a new category of work in my brain.  That is, things I’ve drawn that I either flew through, got done, and moved on from, or things that I’ve subconsciously decided need to be expunged from the cache of conscious retrieval to make room for other things.

Actually, now that I’ve though for a few minutes, I remember this card sitting on the desk at the studio waiting to be shipped.  But nope, still no recollection of the drawing process.

I don’t think I’ve posted this card yet. The Psyloke from earlier in the week was actually a redo, which I was more than happy to do.  It gives me an extra one to sell (this one is going on eBay as of tonight.)

For skin tones I’ve been used Copic colors: Skin white, Pinkish White, Sand White, and Water Lily.  I just replaced the brush tips (which was pretty effortless) on several brushes as over the last year they’ve picked up a little bit of black from the inks. Although, it’s pretty rare that even that black would come off into the page.

This afternoon I ventured into watercolors a little more.  The results were okay, but I still went in with a pen to touch it up.  I’d like to explore a more painted look when I get my time budgeted a little more.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter weekend.
