Wild dog sketch sheet

Spent most of the day working on a large commission. I got to a certain point and deceided I needed to let it sit till tomorrow. But I still had a couple hours left in the evening. Hmm. What to do?

I don't often just sketch for fun but deceided that it would be fun to fool around on the parchment paper I'm so addicted to. And here is the result. Done without reference so it's not the best sketching but it was fun and relaxing. I was trying to stay loose and sloppy again so did these quickly.

I was rather pleased by the result of the markers and then pencil work over that. The paper takes it very well. I'm going to have to play around with that combination more and see what results I can get when taking more time.
