Best Laid Plans

Yay! I'm available to go to Open Training on Saturday!

Set the alarm. Make sure my gear is ready. Fuel in the car. All good. Time to sleep.

Hours later, still no sleep. I have never functioned well on lack of sleep, not even as a teen or young adult. Well, it's not too bad right? I can probably manage. Alarm goes off. I look outside. Lack of sleep, cold, slippery, snowy driving conditions... I am NOT getting behind the wheel of the car in this state!

Felt pretty much like this tiger looks most of the day.

Got in some reps. Will do more.

Definitely not a "green day".

Notes:

Never used this technique of combining pencil crayon (white conte in this case) with Copic markers (alcohol based markers) . The usual coloured pencils favoured by artists for this are oil based (Polychromos or Luminance) rather than wax based (Prismacolor, Derwent, etc.), but I wanted to try using what I already have. Guess it's time to go shopping for the oil based pencils because the Conte didn't work like it needs to and wax ones didn't work at all.

This is the start of a new sketchbook. Filled the old one.

Oops! Forgot to include the grey Copic markers in the photograph.
