in your face

Done in 10 minutes last night on the back of an envelope with my new black pen and some pastels which were lying around from my current pet portrait, I think this might be my Christmas card instead of my lovingly painted robin! Sometimes life's just like that...

In sombre mood as I'm playing around with roughs for a personal illustration. An idea that's been in my head since I first read Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow, but is only finally manifesting itself now as I recently read it again. I have a very specific image in my head as to how I want this to look but can't decide yet on the best way to achieve it. Sometimes the personal work is much harder than the commissioned work - it feels more like a child or something precious.
