Having fun with an abandoned sketch

060219-sk62a

Here was a sketch that could have possibly been abandoned when the person I was sketching moved on. I ended up embellishing his hairs into Babylonian locks.

I also have been experimenting with mixing color right on the page especially with flesh colors. Adding a bit of permanent rose into a wet area of flesh color adds some life- maybe not like Charles Reid but I really like the unpredictable nature of mixing on the page and the strong colors it creates.
