Eight months ago, I posted a trio of sketches entitled "Good Clean Fun" in my scraps folder. Five months ago, I colored and reposted the first one, Paddock Boot Bogging. This pic follows that one, but is actually the first pic drawn--I was experimenting with having Tina's hair fall in front of her ears as a means of streamlining her design. I then drew "Paddock Boot Bogging" to explain what she did to get her boots all caked with mud.

Sporting over-the-knee boots for the first time, she just had to see how deep they would let her sink in a boggy paddock on some horse farm. The answer: deep enough to get stuck for a couple of minutes, but not enough to get any inside or on her shiny tights. Presumably her feet are still dry inside too--the last pic says she waterproofed the leather beforehand, and these boots don't have zippers. Inspired by the YouTube account of Dirty Boot Productions, (although the owner says almost none of his models finish a shoot without getting their feet wet).

As penciled, this pic didn't have a backdrop, so I free-handed a couple of barns with a line tool, and added a simple treeline in the backdrop. As always, one of the most time-consuming parts was adding the texture to the small corner of muddy ground inside the fence. Following the precedent started with Mountain Bike Mud Boggin, I re-used the pencil texture over her boots to make the mud covering them look appropriately grimy.
