Daily Sketch: Here in the Shadows
A very good place to be on a hot day. Jelly Bean is in the shadows behind the curtain, dozing on top of the wardrobe by the open window. He was really the only part I was interested in, his deep blackness with the few intense highlights defining a few features. It’s how I see him when he sleeps there. Pastel carries this off so well, even the texture of the paper.

Sparky, I was initially going to do just his face and whiskers I liked that so much, but then I decided I liked the mahogany highlights on his belly too…
