I felt this one really needed that Prismacolor shading in the background to separate the image a bit. Looking at it now, I’m wondering if maybe I should have used cross-hatching to do it, but for better or worse, it’s too late now. That’s sometimes why I’m nervous NOT doing things like that digitally. I used to be pretty okay with the markers and colored pencils, and now I feel my skills have… slid. As usual, I’m sure I’m overthinking. It’s kind of what I do.

The stairs (hey, it ties to the prompt for once! yay!) of course are inspired by the amazing Dr. Seuss. His work is a constant source of inspiration. (I wonder if anyone would be interested in a “Top Ten” list or something similar from me regarding my favorite creators? No? okay. hahaa)

(Hey, if I’m going to talk to myself, I’m going to make it true to ME, yo.)

That Snowman in the doodle was about 18 different things before I put him there… What’s HIS deal? 🙂
