Draw or Nap #3: Postcards from the sky

Postcards from the sky
I didn't post as many drawings as I would like this month but mostly because it took me too long to finish a single piece. But here's one that I just finished. I call this Postcards from the sky but mostly because I can't think of anything to call it. I was going to have some text on the typewriter paper at the front, something like, 'On a clear and moonlit night..." but I decided no on that. The typewriter keys are askew but everything is sort of not straight anyway so I just decided to leave it. I really like how this turned out though. (click on the images for a larger view)

    1. Elephant's Child: I couldn't seem to draw a straight line, at least, not at a proper angle.

    1. Tammie Lee: Sometimes I think I used too many colors. For this piece, I actually muted the colors so there aren't any bright whites, not much.

      Thank you for coming by. Have a lovely day.
