Much better. This one won't give me nightmares. He looks happy. You should finish the first, but deliberately make it scarier for Halloween. Wait, no, don't do that. I do not need to see that image. XD

The first attempt has gone in the trash! He won't be giving anyone any nightmares again :D
You're safe!!!

Wow! Very well done, my dear.

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

Thank you - I'll be finishing him off later :)

Wow, you got his snarky 'holier than thou' look to a tee!

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

Thank you - that's good to read!

Oh yes, much better! By the way, I'm trying to remember - do you always use black paper?

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I'm much happier this time around.
For these pictures, yes, I always use black paper. For dapplegrey pictures, it's aboout 50/50. I tend to do the commissions on light paper because it's more mainstream (unless someone asks specifically for a dark background).

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Would you prefer to work on the darker shades all the time then?

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

Yes, probably I would. I think it makes the image 'pop' so much more. Obviously, there are times when it would be difficult, eg: when drawing a black cat, but there are ways round that, and you can make the picture look very atmospheric and eye-catching with the right use of highlighting.

Mr Ketch is looking his usual handsome self, and you've caught his expression perfectly.

Thank you :)
