When your sketches are better than the final 😂 (Blast from the Past)

July 11, 2021

As I was just updating my website, I came across all the process sketches I did during my brief time illustrating for PurseBlog.

I was honestly surprised to find that some of the process sketches seem much nicer – with a lot more heart – than the actual final pieces?! I feel like there’s a lesson here but I don’t know what it is yet. Haha.

Anyway, let’s play a little game, I’ll do a side by side comparison of (L) the alternative sketch and (R) what ended up being the final, and you decide – via comment or simply in your head – which one you think is nicer.
