Sphinx Drawing on Toned Paper

Before I begin a large painting I create a drawing from which I work out a few details and use to transfer onto a larger surface. I enjoy working on toned paper. It has an immediate ability to give a neutral tone to work with that can be soothing while drawing. It has the added benefit to looking great and adding some color to an otherwise normally color neutral process.

I choose to add this particular drawing because I’m excited that the final painting is something I can share and will be used for some promotional gaming materials by Ebay at GenCon this year.

I’ll leave you with this riddle:

What is always old and sometimes new; never sad, sometimes blue; never empty, but sometimes full; never pushes, always pulls?
