Illustration Friday: Gesture

Gesture. watercolor & graphite on watercolor paper, 8 x 11, 2011.
Here's this week's Illustration Friday; it was a lot of fun to draw.

... but not so fun to photograph.  I love working with pencils, but I can never get them to photograph as well as pen.  If anyone has any secret techniques I'd love to hear them.  If I win the lottery I'm buying a large format scanner!

  7. I like this one very much: the idea, and the execution. I like the use of blue + red, cold and warm, and I expecially like the gesture she does with her hair... so spontaneous.
