Fast

First time trying inktober in a serious way.  Started out using my usual sketchy approach.  I decided to change it to a cleaner method.  One because I wanted to try something different and clean lines are definitely not what I go for. The other reason was because I wanted to have something that I would have a chance of maintaining for the month. The other doodles take about 15- 20 minutes which is achievable for me - I hope.

Attempted this kind of approach before.  Still haven't cracked it but started to resolve some stuff. Into inktober and am trying to do something everyday.

A little early for Spring but a quick landscape study of a work by  Stepan Kolesnikoff .  Had an interesting palette.

This one went very fast at the beginning then stalled.  I think that if I had kept the momentum it would have turned out better. It could still do with polishing but also some pose work.

Trying out some different techniques to try and polish pieces a bit more.

I registered with Sotheby's  auction site a while back.  Not as a buyer but to browse the works that have remained in private hands but surface from time to time when changing hands.  This is a study of one such work.
