- A Thumbnail Sketch -

Usually before I start a painting, I do several compositional drawings. In this case I used Corel Painter to do the drawing and then this drawing can be used to develop some color ideas before going on to the actual painting. This one is totally out of my imagination, which is a little harder than working from life or photos. I think this is true because we tend to go back to certain mannerisms or drawing habits.
