Hi All--

A book I'm working on requires a volunteer from the audience, so to speak. Although I was taught in pen and ink and stuff, I felt that the figure in the book needed to be "more". So I spent about half a day on the attached image, and the weird thing is that after around 2 hours, the model started to take life all by itself! No, I'm not snorting Vicks or anything...it's just that the experience left me feeling as though I knew exactly where everything went. And I love 1940s cartoons, so the figure is out of date, yet rendered with a 21st century piece of software.

Anybody else out there "channel" when you work? You have the gut instinct there to help you along and guide you?

I dunno. Sometimes things just fall into place.
