Yesterday on facebook, I asked my friends for drawing prompts. I finished the first batch (I finished inking the first batch, anyway, I want to watercolor a couple of them at least).  This is the first. “PT Barnum presenting Jumbo the Elephant and Tom Thumb simultaneously.”

I spent all weekend painting in my sketchbook. Which reminds me - decent paper makes a huge difference. If you can possibly afford it, don’t skimp. Today’s advice from Auntie Caviglia. Also - I think I need to paint more tigers.
