Finished Joy for a friend… She is totally happy and me too😅 because she sees her horse in this drawing. Joy was a horse full of humor…
It is drawn on 21/29 cm 160 gr/qm White paper with Derwent water pencils and watercolor pencils and normal pencil.
Joy needs quite a time… And many horsestudies.

Thinking about stopping this now🤔… or should I do some background?… what do you think
More layers not possible without damaging the paper (Ichoosed to thin one🤪)… maybe I spray it with matt Lacquer then more layers are possible…
Honestly I am not really happy either the result🤷🏼♀️

Hi Elina
I wouldn’t spray. And even if I did it would be better to use what is called a workable fixative, which I believe is mostly used with pastels where media covers the entire piece of drawing paper.
It really looks fine. I recommend calling it done, and move on to a new project.

Thank you for this advice! Yes, it is better to go to an other project then to glue on one with much doubt… It cannot get better:sweat_smile:… And is no joy! And drawing is really joy 
I hope you feeling fine!

I think your bat is really good as it is. I really like the fluffy fur and the simple background. Thank you for sharing!
Only note from me is a pencil blender can remove most of the paper graininess.

That looks great the way it is, in my opinion more background would distract from the subject. I have never had good success using a fixative to add layers. Thanks for posting. Ron

and your advice:folded_hands:
@rleeelliott thank you🙏… Even for sharing your experience
Finished this today… a mixture of watercolor, derwent inktense and colored pencils on watercoloraper with big tooth.
I think I will make a brake with colors and do a graphite picture next… It feels like needing a pause for progress in drawing with colors.

Hi Elina
I’m enjoying these sketches and can see why they were fun to do. Bet you can’t wait for Gettin’ Sketchy to start again.
