I was recently on Alyssa Nasser’s blog Ten Paces and Draw, this was my final from Alyssa’s sketch, be sure to check out the awesome final from my sketch and everyone else’s take on this week’s theme: OUTER SPACE

This piece has a companion that I'll be posting soon after I've made some helpful corrections suggested by one of my teachers, Daniel Krall, check out his stuff at www.danielkrall.com
