Wacom drawing - Mother Nature





I've been using the WACOM again. This time, I wanted to have a go at re-drawing my 'Mother Nature' drawing I did last year, using a different style. It took me a while to complete this drawing, and I must admit I actually rushed it. I should have focused more on the technique, rather than getting the job done. I need to be more patient with my work. However, that being said, I'm getting better at being patient with my projects and I think this new style of drawing I'm currently teaching myself (using a book) will help.

I was a bit hesitant at posting this drawing. As I mentioned, I wasn't happy with how it turned out, but I thought I should just go a head and post it. I think it's good to share and post drawings/projectst that don't turn out so well so other people can view them.
