Things Get In Between

I did a preliminary sketch but then only used it as a rough guide since this kind of work must build up organically or it doesn't work. The sheet of medium bond acid-free paper is 7 by 5.5 inches but the image area, strangely enough, is roughly 6 by 4.5 inches. That's my semi-standard size nowadays. I used my usual gel with the color pencils. This is Original Jones Art doing his thing here in northwest Austin, Texas.
