Inky Disaster

For Illustration Friday. I was planning on inking it, but got carried away with the pencil. Which figures, as I just purchased a couple of pens today.

Based on a photo by Helmut Schadt.

My submission for Illustration Friday’s theme this week, “Voices.”

This is my first moleskine experience. Christmas present from Iris. Thanks, Iris!

I got her a ball that was too small to sit on. Am I a great husband or what? Just doing what the voices in my head tell me to do. Buy the wife a ball, and draw a picture of Joan of Arc in my Christmas present.

From a photo by Alan D’Ala. I think this is his girfriend, so I tried extra hard not to mess it up.

Hands up, elbows in, steely glare. She knows what she’s doing.

I was paranoid I would run out of ink on this one.

I hope I look this cool and happy when I’m older.

Pretty people don’t have as many shadows, I’ve noticed.
