Beautiful Oops

I've come to realize about myself that when I'm trying my absolute hardest at a drawing I tend to over think, get frustrated, get irrationally mad at the paper and pencil for not doing what's in my head, and I storm off to throw a tantrum elsewhere.

Then, there are those beautiful times where I'm just doodling and sketching for the fun of it and WHABAM epic things happen. 

This particular drawing isn't anything over-the-top spectacular but when I was finished with it I was really, really pleased. I just like the simple look of it. Nothing is over done, I enjoy the "flatness" of the coloring, and just generally...well, I love it.

This started off as a sketch for Bree (my in-the-works character). I was playing around with some back story and experimenting with her look. Really, it was a quickie sketch on a page filled with quickie sketches. Then I worked at the image casually, got spontaneous ideas, and just went with it.

Moral of the story: sometimes you just have to go with the flow.
