Autumn reigns supreme as cars wind along a scenic twist of this little Midwest town.
I sketched this one night when I needed to take a break from a commission I was working on.
It was the sort of day were everything you touch seems like you ruin it in some way. Ever have those days? I wanted to throw it away as none of the washes worked out and I was really impatient with it. But I decided to see what would happen when I tackled it again.
I’m glad I stuck with it and made myself work with something less than perfect.
My favorite parts? Mishka, the family’s regal English mastiff, in the back of my dad’s truck. I also liked how I was able to simplify the scene.
I’d like to redo this. And on the second go I would try to makes the washes more definitive, crisp up the lines, and make a few details more accurate.
Hope you enjoyed a scene from historic St. Marys, Kansas!
