Reworking an old project and making it new...

Here's a painting I did some months back that I was never totally happy with. I decided to go back in and here's what I came up with. I'm happy with the new one, but thanks to the digital medium I still have the first version, and that's pretty cool!

Second version...

QuickSketch!

Here's a quick sketch using Cintiq and photoshop. I remember initially going digital and just trying to mimic my "Traditional" techniques. That was very limiting and frustrating. Once I got familiar with the digital tools, I began to find a new style suited to the medium. And I'm still "finding" it! Keep your eyes open or the future will be lost to the past!
