Sketchbook visit

I have kept hard cover sketchbooks since I was very young. About five years ago, I decided to go further with them and started reworking and finishing the drawings that I begun so long ago. Now, it has become a  habit allowing me to think only of the art at hand. These sketchbooks not only helped me practice but they gave me ideas that developed beyond my sketchbook, such as my mermaid project. 

The horse was only a sketch in the 80's. It became more finalized about thirty years later. 

The girl was the original drawing. The greyhound and detailing was added much later. It reminds of a bizarre twist on Clifford, the Big Red Dog.
