Second sketch for the Ganesh painting, which I’ve been slowly working on over the past few weeks. I traced the major features and reworked a lot of the details, especially the hands, fabric, lotus pedestal, and flames. I’m much happier with how those things look now, though there is still room for improvement.

Next I’ll ink this sketch so it will be easier to trace again onto a larger piece of paper so I can finish out the details that run off the edge of this paper. 

As someone who has normally worked small, details running off the paper is a very strange problem to have.

If you are curious about the inspiration and meaning behind this piece you can read about that here. I also welcome questions and comments.
