Just watch. I'm going back to basics with my long stagnant drawing skills in the hopes of realizing my teenage dream to become a comic books penciller. I know I have the talent...Can I stick to this and not let life get in the way?

Flapper
Another picture I did for a drawing jam on drawingboard.org, this one had a roaring 20' girl theme. I don't think I'm done with this one though. And I sooo wish I had some inking supplies.
It's funny because the swan idea was initially mean to simply be a design picked up from an art deco drawing. I think the original was a stylized peacock feather. Then I added the second head and back (just for balance I think) and THEN I noticed the swan motif.
It's funny how things can evolve without a person even noticing it.

This is a really fine drawing, Dawn. I love the swan motif you've incorporated into it.
What's funny is that I've actually been looking at Ethel Hays' and Gladys Parker's flapper cartoons recently.

I like this sweet little drawing. Would you consider allowing me to vectorize it and use it in the invitations for my 30th birthday party?
