Done in sketchbook, on a surface book.I'd heard that a good way to improve was to try and recreate art that you like, so I referenced Lerra22's "Fair and Square 3" www.deviantart.com/lerra22/art… The plan was to copy the original faithfully, but I ended up giving it a few of my own artistic touches. I didnt trace it, but I had the reference image right next to my canvas, so I guess you could say it was an observational drawing?I prefer to think of it as a tribute to a great artist, rather than stealing. After all, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!
