Watercolour on Arches paper
I wasn't pleased with it when I first finished. But it was selected by Sktchy to feature on their app. Actually it wasn't so bad. Don't think anyone noticed the 'wrong' ears.

Watercolour on Khadi paper
Trying out khadi paper. I found it too rough for my liking and hard to work details. But then actually the (unintentional) dry brush effects on the hair turned out quite well.
