Not Far from Eldamar<\/a><\/div>\n

Ink sketch of an Island (Micron pens on 60lb Caslon sketch paper).<\/p>\n

Need more sky info…? There *could* be clouds of some sort… air currents hard to do in B&W like this? Ditto mist…. actually, I could lightly dot the background for mist… ( would be so proud of me if I did, no doubt!)<\/p>\n

May print lightly on watercolor and tint that, which would clarify the sky. And be kind of nifty. This paper is probably too lightweight for tints unless I did colored pencil.<\/p>\n

Hmm…<\/p>\n

As always, your thoughts most very welcome!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
