Illustration Friday

WISDOM

After drawing this I realized that I think that books can help make you wise, but real wisdom comes from experience. I probably was just wanting to draw a princess, same as when I was 5. Haha. What changes, eh? The books part is easy to figure out, since I spend 30+ hours a week surrounded by them, selling them, unpacking them, cleaning them, buying them, flipping through them, alphabetizing them, and sometimes reading them.
Right now I'm reading: Bankok 8 by John Burdett. It is really good: fast-paced, exotic, and lurid, but with heart.

Beautiful pencil work. I love the look on her face and the piles of books...and it sounds like you have a great job. I'm surrounded by books as well, but as an English teacher, I spend so much time ready papers that I rarely have time to read books. Big sigh....Anyway, this is really nice :>

ps. Thank YOU for all your comments. I think you should change your name from'the sensualist' to 'the kommentor.'
