Preliminary study

Many times I prefer preliminary studies to my "finished" work as they have more life to them.
Maybe "Death by noodling !" should be my new credo!

 

e.g.  My quick study for Clarence seems far more benevolent and "lively" than the one I actually posted on Illustration Friday. There again, it was in colour, and I dislike intensely the "colorizing" of original black and white films. Perhaps that came through in the illustration.

As always, 

thank you for viewing.
