Drawing the Sable cover

Thinking about drawing, I realized that I was trying something once and then moving on. With music, there is a lot of repetition and practice of the same piece. So why not the same for drawing?

I made six attempts at the Sable cover, after trying it once a few days ago. I started small and focused on positioning the various elements within the space. Then larger versions to get a bit more detail and add some color. I’m not sure this type of repetition is quite as enjoyable as it is in music, at least for me, but it did seem helpful. I like the second to last one best (smaller with color).

This was the first attempt from a couple days ago.

And this was the source material.
