This drawing failed to come together properly but it was a bit of a breakthrough for me in that it felt good to draw in aqueous crayon again. It has a few good points going for it. The gesture is fairly good and I like how the figure integrates with the frame edge in the background. I will continue to draw like this for a while to see if  I can juggle all the variables better.
