Sunday Sketches - micro comission


Appropriately timed for Sunday Sketches, here is a micro commission for a site called fiverr that I did for some people.

The fun of charcoal is that it allows many depths of expression with little colour, which is fun for me since I tend to go for the exceedingly oversaturated look re. my colour pallete.

Another fun part is finding is looking a bit like a chimney sweeper afterwards, what with all the charcoal all over the place!

All please peruse the other great entries on Sunday Sketches. Another week of creativity in action.

Hi Alicia. Great job on the Combi van!

By the way, thanks for stopping by my blog. To answer your question, I used pencil and digitally painted the sketch. :)
