Tried to do something more complicated in terms of composition here. As ever whenever I try something way outside the comfort zone there is lots to be learned.  This one went at a very fast pace initially but slowed way down with detailing and fiddling with the rocks.  

Waifs and Strays

Time was I was very disciplined about finishing everything I started.  It was a good way of forcing myself to work through problems.  As time has gone on I have accumulated a lot of work in different states of unfinished which sit in a work folder.  I dont know if its a good thing or not.  Of late it is typical that I will work on a few different pieces at a time so some just  get forgotten about.

A switch back to traditional medium for this one. Done in gouache.  Finding it hard  to preserve areas for highlights.  Certain if I was to do it again would have tackled it a bit differently.

A lot of the random doodles of late have ended up as characters.  Here is another one to add to the collection. About half way through I was playing around with filters and added a poster edge filter which I kept and then worked on top of.

Went back through some older work and  finished this one- dont think I posted it before.   Could keep refining this forever I think.

 This one was worked up at the same time as this previous image.  The starting point is below.  Tried to keep the palette under control.

Tried a study of a what looks like pen and washes.  Tall order for me in Photoshop.   Worked on it for a few hours but still lot left to refine in it.  The detail packed into the original is immense.  The house is still there  but the street scape has changed somewhat.
