Gray colored pencil instead of graphite this time—made life much easier! Layered it over a print with the gray trees in the background so we got more of the layered, foggy look. (Next time, I may do TWO layers. Madness!)
Still not entirely sure what that little critter is. It was originally some sort of tarsier, but I think there’s been some genetic drift.

I haven’t drawn seriously twisty trees in ages. I forgot how soothing that is. And at the same time, how maddening.
Original will probably go to that gallery show I’m trying to assemble art for…
Have not touched velum since high school. Must try this.
Prints?
We’re dying/you may be dying to find out what you can do with this stuff in mixed media. IIRC you might need to stretch it like thinner watercolor papers.
