I did a similar image seven times between sketches and paintings; five were paintings. At the first brushstroke I wanted to do this one over too. What I finally realized, and I know this is obvious, was that watercolor is not vector. Why struggle over the ideal line when its analog? If it should look like digital line, I should scan in the sketch and trace it as perfectly as I can. But its not, and it shouldn't. What happens is that I do a sketch in water color and its where I want it. Then another, and another, and so gains momentum. Then comes the "final art" and it tightens up and looses its appeal. Looking rough and making mistakes is why this looks appealing to me. This is freeing and natural. I'm not being careless, just letting the lines come out as they will. Some will like it, some wont. But how is that different than anything else? I was talking about a painter I admire to someone and they said they didn't care much for their work. I have a friend I admire and another friend thinks they are foolish. Im looking at scratchboard, pen and ink, black woodcuts, and all one color art to allow this to be one color.
