transferring this drawing today.
took about 8 hours to get everything precise in this drawing. composition is very critical to me and i have a strong love for negative spaces.
i ended up drawing it larger than life so that i could work everything out. drawing larger is sometimes easier for me.
then i scanned and reduced the drawing in photoshop and printed it out. cheating. whatever. i don't have a lot of free time.
usually this time of year all my freelance work dries up, especially with the way the economy has been. but this year is not usual. i've got work well into next year. so painting has been slow.
but i'm more concerned with quality than quantity.

Not cheating at all. My dad would say you are "using all your resources"! That's a good idea: drawing it larger then reducing it!
I like your dad! :] i find drawing larger lets me get picky and really get the nuances of each line. i like to have that worked out ahead of time, even though i obliterate them in the underpainting, it's a great reference to get back to my carefully crafted negative spaces.
