Slantedexistence

this was an exercise in combining multiple references.  I learned a few things:  1.  do a sketch and work out the *bleep*ing light source.  2.  Pen and ink works a whole lot better for me before i add the watercolor, but I'm likely to abuse it.  That's gonna take practice and intuition to figure out.  3.  Salt, when applied too late, acts as sandpaper/glitter, which was an undesired effect.  

Overall, an improvement on my last original piece  

I really loved how the wings turned out.  

watercolor, pen and ink 8"x 8" approximately
