Snippet Day - Inktober WK2

[wayfaringwordhack]

I missed yesterday's snippet on account of being out of town (out of countryside?) for a family visit, so here is last week's Inktober effort, a day late:

I scanned as intended, but because my scanner 's screen is just shy of the paper's dimensions, I didn't quite get all of the image. What didn't make it on is not worth rescanning and frankensteining to get a full image. I'll do that with the final artwork.

Here is a link to the first week in case you want to see how I progressed.

Gorgeous. All the tiny details. *swoons*

Thanks, dear. I have a love of detail, what can I say? :P

This is wonderful, and I really like this approach, of working on one large work over the course of the month--what a great idea!

I am enjoying the progress "blooming" across the same page, too. It excites me to anticipate the final piece and how it will come together.

I admire your patience for working on one piece with this much detail; I love to see it come together and I'm looking forward to the finished piece!

As I was working this morning, I was thinking about the patience and amount of time this sort of art takes, but it is really something I don't mind doing. I have always been drawn to it. What I don't like is feeling pressured (from myself mostly, let me clarify) to show more, faster. I like the slow build up while I am doing it, but I wonder if I will have a piece that I considered finished at the end of the month. Part of my personal exercise is to declare it done on the 31st, no matter what, in hopes of learning how not to belabor something to overly-detailed death.

So nice!
