Illustration Friday

Yesterday, while surfing, I came across this incredible site called 'ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY'.
As it says on the site,
Illustration Friday is a weekly illustration challenge. A topic is posted every Friday and then participants have all week to come up with their own interpretation.

I loved the concept and could'nt wait to jump on the bandwagon :).

So here goes, my first contribution.

This week's topic is 'STRENGTH'.

Copyright 2005 Ratlion
When I thought of 'strength', the first thing that came to mind was women and mom's in particular. And that in turn brought to mind this drawing I'd done a couple of years back.
I've improved a lot in my art since I did this, and I know I should've probably worked on it a bit, but for some reason I did'nt feel like making any changes to the original.
To me, the mom's face and expression in this drawing radiates a kind of gentle/quiet/patient strength and maybe even illustrates this quote I found online,
Nothing is so strong as gentleness. Nothing is so gentle as real strength
