Mrs Peacock

Just picking up a black pen and sketching is still one of my favourite things to do.

I have a riddle book on Noah's ark where the some of the animals have human bodies and wear suits. This lady was a postcard that I saw online and I have done my own version.  I like the like the way this plays on the idea of humans having "animal-like" qualities and animals having "human-like" qualities.  I want to do a few more sketches along the same lines... Mr Wise owl perhaps.  I also want to do some "bird portraits". Formal poses,  I can see it in my head, just need to get it on paper!

I had some fun playing with effects and creating a "negative" version of the drawing.
