You know what amazes me? Your rough sketch (which you are always so brave and kind to show us) is really basic. And I always think "Well, but she's just sketching and it's just a concept..." But no. You take that EXACT sketch and layer details on it, the same exact sketch, until it's something awesome.
That's why your work is so powerful. It's honest. You don't re-do or tweak or manipulate or trace or any of that crap...it's just this sketch that turns into an awesome multi-layered piece of art.
I really, really must buy an original. Owning all those layers atop that honest sketch would be very exciting.
