	AIMLESS... Nothing out of the ordinary, just an idea jotted in my sketchbook. Right from the beginning, I had the animal visualized as a goat . . . so I could shoot him in his horn(s). Click on any illustration for an enlargement. The first full size sketch: It's in this step that I have all the fun . . . no references, just the fun of drawing. The final drawing, basically the sketch with a few minor refinements . . . and references. Water-based dyes are applied to be used as a base coat for the colors to come, and they cover the white of the paper where I don't want it. I'll be using colored pencils in the next step, and I don't want to see those little flecks of the white paper showing through where they shouldn't. The colored pencil stage, where most of the work is done. The final version, with acrylic paint added (as usual). Top of the page
