  @zom18 Thank you for your kind words. For the most part this illustration was done with watercolours but I did sharpen things up with a waterproof black fine-liner. One way to get things looking expressive and loose is to cheat by doing a light drawing in graphite or a light blue pencil. For me I find this technique helps me feel more confident with throwing black lines around and I have the lighter drawing below as a guide. It's kind of like sculpting things out.
