Before and after drawings in pencil and colored pencil - man floating in water

Revisions after Inktober: Floating man

By DoctorPlatypus | Doctor Platypus | 1 Nov 2020


In this revision, I softened the shading on the left foot and lower leg. Very simple, very small, but I think it's made a substantial difference. Probably just to my eye, I imagine, but anyhow. When I looked at the earlier version, my eye was always drawn to the left foot, and I thought it looked like I had scribbled it out. I feel like it looks more footly now, and it's much less distracting to me.
