Above is my own sort of guardian angel. She came to me with branched wings, decadent Art Nouveau gold, ballerina feathers, and a falcon to aid with her sight (yep, I need two sets of eyes watching over me). This is just a sketch. I obviously have more line work to clean up and a lot of color decisions to make. Not sure if I should go with my usual solid blocking of hues or change it up with some shading and more play of light. Either way, I don’t want to take away from my lines…I love my lines. Lately, I think I’ve been having an affair with lines.
