JFlah's Blunders

Sketch of Merida from Disnye's Brave - water color pencil & graphite on paper. It's been a while since I sketched anything with a real attempt at getting everything right... I'm sorely out of practice. This is reminiscent of Merida from Disney's Brave but she looks older and I didn't even try to draw the back hand - just put in a few lines to indicate where it was. I used the image that was on the DVD insert as reference while I was listening to a movie. Enjoyed working on it.

I don't know what the correlation between listening to audio books and the quality of my sketches, but I can tell you that there is definitely a correlation. My sketches are better in general and exhibit better overall composition when I'm listening to an audio book. They're still not perfect but they are better. Is it because I am focused on the book and so only my observational skills are employed for the sketch - does it help me not to over-analyze?
