Illustration Friday: "Tension"


I wish I could spin some meaning into this, but in reality it was just about procrastinating, doing a fast sketch for fun and drawing thick lines with my brush pen!  It felt great.  When I realized it would work for Illustration Friday, it was a nice little bonus!

    The lady is plotting someone's demise? I like the arch of her eyebrow. Pure evil ;)

      Thanks, Ewa. I didn't start out to make her look evil, but she definitely turned out that way!

    Beautifully drawn Laurie. It looked like charcoal and ink at first glance. If you said she was a Scorpio who's been double crossed and planning her revenge, I'd believe it. She's probably a lovely person most days ;)

      Thank you very much! Yes, I'd say she's plotting something and nobody will ever catch her at it.

      Thanks! The bold lines were fun, especially since I usually noodle around with a crow quill. I think perhaps she's planning the demise of a rival...
