Illustration Friday - Open


This week's Illustration Friday topic is Open. This is a drawing I did for a WetCanvas Weekly Drawing Thread. I used techniques I learned in the book Drawing Realistic Textures in Pencil by J.D. Hillberry. The drawing is on hot-pressed watercolor paper. I used pencil, charcoal, and frisket film to render the image.
