Back to the drawing board...

The only good thing about saying goodbye to the summer holidays is the return of peace and quiet around the drawing table. I had picked up some new toys at Currys (The place where I'm most likely to max out a credit card) and just started playing with older, more comfortable imagery and a newer medium - in this case, gouache. Needless to say, after I had worked patiently and carefully and discovered my original idea wasn't going to work, I got a lot rougher and brought out the shoe polish.
