Based on the piece I started with @studiohoffmann.bsky.social last Thurs eve, I decided to redo the illo completely, but skipped gesso. Working on this gave me grease to get more comfortable with my former traditional illustration game, kind of like riding a bike comfortable. #gabndoodle

Kim Smith @kimillustration
Niña Mata @ninamataart
