Starting off rather messy and then refining with the eraser as I go. I am starting to get a feel for my process after the image of the giraffe. I simply don't like working on two or three layers for the subject and having to go back and forth between the color under the line and the color over the line. I feel that painting on a flat layer gives me more freedom and feels more natural. been trying tricks with shadows on a multiply layer and such but It never really feels right.
maybe I am just not used to really managing my layers so who knows if that might change.
