Illustration Friday - Confined

Medium: White Gauche and Graphite on Wallpaper
My intention was to illustrate a woman uncomfortably confined in her clothing. The white rabbit was added as an after thought, inspired by the Showcase movie "Alice" (in Wonderland). Makes for a rather ambiguous image.


Rendering on dark wallpaper is tricky. It's hard to see the difference between black and dark red. I could see the contrast when I held it at arms length but as my nose got closer to the work area I would have to tilt the page so that light reflected off the graphite sheen. It was almost like working the negative.
