Very very sketchy

I thought it might be fun to post some more early sketches, in the really rough stages. They may be grubby and scribbly, and covered in coffee  stains and fingerprints, or full of hideous anatomical mistakes, but there's a kind of energy about first sketches that so often gets killed in the finals. I'm working hard on trying to keep that energy going through all the stages of a picture, but I'm not quite there yet...

Anyway - here's 2 kids in silly hats feeding stolen cake to a bunch of gulls...
