I could make some kind of joke about this week’s Illustration Friday topic, but I  guess I’m just feeling too air-headed to come up with one…

This was a very quick, sketchy drawing, once again with the brush pen, with a few touch up-ups with the fixed-width pen. This particular brush pen is starting to get a bit scratchy and doesn’t come to as fine a point as it used to, but I sort of like the effect, especially around the hair. I haven’t been using the brush very often, so I still struggle with it. A struggle worth making, I think, since every time I try I’m happier with the result. This one captures more of the feeling from the pencil underdrawing than I usually manage with it.
