Artist's Comments

I was very undecided about posting this. It's a quick pencil illustration, produced last weekend while I was at work. All done from the imagination except for the twenty pound note, which has since been spent.

The illustration will accompany a story called 'Legacy' (by Liza Granville, I think). The female character was described as looking like Botticelli's Venus and she marries for mercenary reasons.

I so love this!!!! It's great!! Nice idea. Love the way her dress fans into the notes. Lovely drawing and looks so much more that just a sketch.

Just because it is impossible now - doesn't mean it always will be.

Thank you. I really didn't think too much of this; I liked the idea, but I would have liked to have planned it better and taken my time over it.

Thanks. This time I was trying to rip off Botticelli, the other times it was not intentional ... it's a shame that I didn't have a Botticelli to look at when I was drawing it :laughing: If I'd thought about it, I could have got D to pose for me with her long locks of wavy hair :stupidme:

Thank you very much. I nearly didn't post this because I thought it wasn't that good. I am not a very good judge of my own work :) Many thanks for the fav :blowkiss:
