Daily Quick Sketch: Pigley

Today's quick sketch is a little pig I call Pigley. As always, my challenge is to draw a pig differently then I have before. So on this little guy I gave him an egg-shaped body, huge eyes, forward pointy ears, wide flat snout, a non-curly tail and hockey puck hooves. 

Pigley, quick sketch done with Copic markers on Canson marker paper

This sketch was done with markers.
There much lost when scanning markers. I believe the scanner's hard light makes the paper more translucent then it actually is; so the blending of the markers, (like the pig's hind leg) tends to look more blotchy compared to the actual drawing.

For this reason, I doubt I will ever do a complete picture book in markers, because the transfer to print is not truly accurate. (But making images this way is still very nice when you see the actual work.)
