Pencil and white pastel on toned paper.

The drawing for my next painting, "Kissed by Fire." (I borrowed the phrase from George R.R. Martin.) This is Loki, god of fire, with one of his children.

This year at the IMC all the students were given Strathmore toned sketchbooks. I love my toned sketchbook. I've already filled it, so I went out and bought another.
