Why Must You Rain on My Parade?

'Why Must You Rain on My Parade?' | Daily Drawing #314

Lots of rain in Philly this week, I'm just happy it's not snow. I'll gladly take a few days of gloom during the week. I do my best work when I'm not distracted by the siren song of a sunny day.

The last few weeks I've been doing a lot of lettering and illustration on the iPad Pro. While the device is super handy and an amazing creative tool, nothing beats putting the lead to paper.

I did a practice sketch in pencil, cleaned it up a little, then just traced it in ink. One pass, no retouching, no photoshoppery. Feels good to work on paper.

Tools:
Kuretake Bimoji Felt Tip Brush Pen
Staedtler Mars 780 Technical Mechanical Pencil, 2mm
