(h..."It makes a vampire bat look cuddly." (ha,ha)<br /><br />I don't think you're doing anything wrong. The black line isn't as loose as your pencil line, which is REALLY beautiful. It might help to add eye-whites to the violet guy, because the expression in his eyes in the pencil sketch is so dramatic and that expression just doesn't come across when part of his eyes are violet.<br /><br />I like how in the pencil sketch his body is one big swoosh.... in the violet piece, his stomach breaks that nice line. It's just likes how my stomach is, only mine is worse.<br /><br />Sketches often have so much more energy and life than when we try to PERFECT things. Can you just use the sketch? Or add some color to the sketch? Make the blue line in the sketch black (if you want it black) and add some washy color (or flat color?) ??Linda Davickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03660351950973083893noreply@blogger.com
