That blue mess on the left was so intimidating, it was in my sketchbook for over two and a half years before I got the courage to start the unraveling. The sketch on the right was done on a piece of tracing paper...I couldn't bring myself to get directly involved with that old sketch again. It was a real chore sorting through all those lines, now blurred somewhat by the tracing paper. The expression of the cat probably mirrored my own by the time I was done.
