These are more sketches from my commission noodling session. A good sketch session is great for clearing out the cobwebs and finding the energy behind a solid, finished piece. It's also a nice way to tumble around a single concept, in order to discover the best way to execute the final. Of course, that's the mindset when working on an illustration for a job. But I like to be able to bring that to the table on my more independent work, as well.
