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'.

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

Nice job. Good color and line work.
Wow!
Tony, you're actually responsible for my first non-spam comment! :D
Thank you, for the compliment as well as for dropping by.
Hopefully I'll be able to do much better the next time..
I like the strang, loving patience in the mother's face as a contrast to the exuberance of the children. Lovely use of color and black...I like this very much:>
Thank you :)
This is lovely, and I can see why you wouldn't want to change it. Their faces radiate love and happiness, and yes, quiet strength on the part of the mother. Beautifully done!
