Sparring in My Sketchbook - original ink figurative drawing with touches of white pencil

I am always interested in drawings on different supports.  Here, I used yellow ochre acrylic brushed on my sketchbook page.  Watercolor would be more traditional - or thinned ink - but was just working with what I had.  It's about 7 1/2 x 7 1/2" - the page seems to be a hot press watercolor paper, which I love to use - it can take lots of abuse!  Thanks for stopping by.

Love this! My dad was a light-weight boxer....LOVED boxing...I remember sitting with him while he watched the fights. I like how you used ocre for the background......nice work...(hope you do more of these)

It's amazing how such little detail can produce such a powerful sketch! This is where the phrase 'less is more' really explains its self. Love this!

Hi Hilda - my dad did a little boxing when he was young and loved it, too. I always sat with him when he watched the fights, as well - nice memories! Will definitely do more of these - thanks so much for stopping by!
