Lost in Thought

The spiritual eyesight improves as the physical eyesight declines.

                  Plato

      Once again I have fallen into the trap of not planning ahead.  While I am happy with the pose and placement of this drawing I really didn't think out the color scheme like I should have.  When I first made a quick sketch I was toying with the idea of doing the whole drawing in graphite and then going back and doing the scarf in red colored pencil.  Now that I have highlighted her hair in white chalk I am not sure if that is such a good idea.  Her coat is going to be a deep black but, then again, maybe a deep purple if I do the scarf red.  There are no rules in art but sometimes I wish there were!
