Schubert was so focused on what he saw he forgot to chew his cud.
I was researching sheep at work on Friday, and I really liked how funny their faces looked, thus I drew a sheep. I guess I'm back in the swing of things with Illustration Friday, because This concept came quickly and I drew it straight onto the bristol board with minimal corrections.
I also found my water pen again, instead of the gigantic chinese watercolor brush, so I'm much happier. I can add little details to my heart's content. I thought about breaking out the colored pencils to refine a few areas, but I was happy that I kept this loose (for me) so I left it alone.

Wonderful!! :)
This is a riot, I love it! The looseness looks great - that's something I struggle with, I need to make a point of posting something that isn't completely finished!
I have a special fondness for sheep you do such good work.
@Susan: I often have trouble with looseness myself. I made an effort to be loose on this one. It's also a matter of finding a brush you love. Contrary to most watercolor painters (probably) my favorite brush is a plastic waterbrush (I think I use a small Niji) and not a natural hair brush. This gives me a nice balance of looseness and tight rendering when needed.
