One of the things I found when I moved my office was an empty (but giant) sketch pad that I put a lot of my older pieces into. I remember doing this piece while watching TV a couple years ago, it's a sketch usingCopic Markers over pencil.In my mind she was balancing on a log, hence the pose, but I never did draw the log lol. The addition of copic markers was added mostly as an after...

I was inspired and had to scrap it right away. I have a mix...
