Tip-toes Mixed Media

This was a sketch that I started which turned into a more interesting mixed media piece afterwards. I began with the idea after having a girl tell me that she's never dated anyone under 6 foot, so this represents me, or other guys, trying to boost their height to impress girls. I taped off a portion of watercolor paper, used gesso and a light orange wash, then added cut paper over top of the integrated sketch. I like the process, and I like how this turned out. Cut paper was an interesting process to explore.
