Description My kids' school recently had a trivia night - one of their chief fund raising nights - and I put up an illustration as a silent auction item. This is the result which I will be shipping off to the winner shortly. I intend to colour this but with so much work on at the moment I don't know when that will be - so I thought I'd post the inks now.

Cheerio!

Edit: I have uploaded a hi-res version of these inks should anyone have the desire to do their own coloured version. Please let me know if you do, of course - I'd love to see it!

Edit again: hmmm - large version not showing up for some reason. Please note me if you would like a copy to play with.

Thank you! The coloured version is taking a long time to finish... I am seriously thinking of changing tack and colouring it traditionally instead of digitally. Stay tuned

Thank you dear! I had intended to make her look tentative as she creeps from the safety of the forest - she does look like she's been sprung!

Thank you The amount of black & white is always a challenge. It can really make the difference between an average pic and one that pops! I think I managed to stop just in time on this one
