Your sketches are so delicate and wonderful. I think I like them as much as the finished piece, that is a compliment too. Although I love them coloured and on the grain of the wood. This darling creatures platinum hair is really beautiful with the black/purple berries.
When sketching, I'm more courageous to draw, so they will be more dynamic. In the final drawing, I concentrate very much on the fact that I do not want to spoil something and feel that it is more timid than the outline. :)
