Description

Happy New Year!

[flipped shot] Or really just both of the women flipped upward -- just in case you wanted to see them like that -- here: [link]

[happiness] It's a poem by Stevie Smith. This picture is a part of a project/assignment for school, and I liked it so much I decided I'd post it. Might as well, right? Since I barely get to post at all.

Happiness is silent, or speaks equivocally for friends,
Grief is explicit and her song never ends,
Happiness is like England, and will not state a case,
Grief, like Guilt, rushes in and talks apace.


It's my first time drawing anything like this. Hope it proves to be interesting. :3

[tools] Sketched first on Bristol vellum, then inked with a UNI pen, and then colored in with COPIC sketch markers.

[time] An hour.
