Finally completed The Big Hug! I spent way too long on this one - considering that the note on the back of the drawing says I started doing the preliminary pencil sketch at the end of....May!
But then again... in the intervening period I have slaved at the day job for forty hours a week, and completed about 25 cartoons for publication. I have added a few blog posts here as well and have tried my hand at freelance writing for the first time. More on that later hopefully...
Add to that it has been one of the hottest summers I ever remember too - that has sapped my energy big time and not made working any easier.
The worst bit was giving the final coloring push last Monday after a long weekend abroad (see previous post) and very nearly ruining everything. Thankfully that did not quite happen.
Oh well, I am pleased with the finished item so that is good enough for me. I hope I will start on something new soon. What that might be remains to be seen.
Small irrelevant detail - in The Big Hug I did not draw the clouds of course and only drew the sky around them. This provided an idea for my cartoon strip (pictured below).
Waste not, want not!
