Drawing a moving target. Using pre-painted pages.

The way I moved around this page was very quick and fragmented - head here - leg there. Some things (like a figure on the very top_ came in one piece. Others were completed in several parts. I think using this pre-painted background makes this page a little more interesting for me to work through by providing some hint in composition. Sometimes I make these pre-painted pages as a way to get through a sketching block. And sometimes these backgrounds make me work in a new way and help with the same thing - try them out! :)

  1. I like your subject matter, too, and am sure "moving target" is an apt name. :) I admire your ability to recreate the person, with just the right details.

    I was fascinated by the flags blowing in the breeze and made some attempts to draw them. A very interesting challange.
