Still reworking

Here is an inked, reworked sketch of Penny and Zip. Click on the image to enlarge it. I'm not quite satisfied, but I can't put my finger on why. I welcome any feedback you'd like to offer in the comments. At this point I should perhaps switch to the watercolor wash. I can always ink more afterward. If I add more ink now, I may overwork it. I'll let it sit like this until tomorrow, so I can see it fresh.

I got some horrendously bad news about a friend yesterday. It has rather derailed my progress on the portfolio this weekend. I spent the better part of this afternoon working on an abstract piece to help me sort through my feelings. Something I needed to do. The piece is tentatively titled "A Better Place" which is where I hope she now is...

I have a bit more drawing details to add then I'll be using watercolor and perhaps acrylics.
