Somebody's Mum

Comments

Nice work, Donald. You've made every line count. You have a good eye for form and size. Very brave using dip pen and ink outdoor.

Agree with Carol spot on and the title's good too!

Hi Carol and Heather , thanks for your lively feedback. That lady appeared a really nice and natural person. And the title was the easy bit!

This homely lady struck me as probably somebody's Mum. And a lovely character to draw. A little challenging too with the complex linear patterns of her hair with using dip pen and Indian ink. From life at Euston station. For the lower part I used the minimum of lines to indicate the form. This approach has a decorative element.
