First artwork for over five years.

Well, I got my scanner up and running again. The plug wasn't working, but I have a spare adapter and so there we are.

Now I expect most of you who know me also know the subject, so I'm not going to tell you who it is and see if you can guess. Some of you already know, though. The pic was drawn from life in about 40 minutes of fading daylight - I really needed more time and better light. As I noted last night, I spent a half hour or so tidying the drawing from memory.

My rusty technique has let me down I think but here it is:



Unfortunately the pencil and rusty drawing skills may have added a few years. Oops. Sorry.

Anyway, I intend to get back in practice, I am already down to draw nyarbaggytep and immerwahr at some point.

No idea who your subject is, but she is lovely! And your skills are not as rusty as you think :)

Thanks... and please share more with us!

Thank 'ee very much ;-)

The secret's out of the bag (not much of a secret this side of the pond, actually). The subject is ashenkat (see her icon below against her comment) so you can judge the likeness or lack thereof for yourself.

although the icon is taken at a strange angle and the hair photoshopped so it isn't a very good likeness of its own. This one is a bit better maybe
