"O for a Muse of fire, that would ascend
The brightest heaven of invention, 
A kingdom for a stage, princes to act
And monarchs to behold the swelling scene!" 
King Henry V, Act 1, Prologue
~William Shakespeare

Here is another piece for my Muse concentration for AP Art. You can see Shakespeare's hand penning King Henry V, a skull to represent Shakespeare and his works, candles to represent the "muse of fire", an hourglass to represent themes within the play, and the Lancaster Rose representing Prince Hal himself. 

Drawn with Copic multiliners and a white colored pencil. Please zoom in for full-view.

Haha! Aww, thank you so much!

I remember working on that in November during free time in class... that was fun! You gave me motivation when the crosshatching got tedious
