Description Based on the character Jane.

This one was really hard for me, when I think about the 'bigger picture' and if I keep doing more. Each one gets harder to keep them all different in concepts and colours. When you think of 'English' all very modern symbols come to mind, which wouldn't exactly fit in this series.....so I decided to use a map as the English discovered many countries and Jane herself travels. I actually had a victory dance when I finally decided what to base this piece around. It may seem obvious to you, but it was a challenge for myself. It really was difficult, compared to others that I could draw (ha-ha) from nature, because although 'Tarzan' is set in Africa (?) Jane obviously wasn't born there....but I think the map connects where she is from with where she is 'now' which is good enough for be. Besides I didn't really want to call it Jungle Tears.

I decided to have a little fun with some of the countries names as I didn't exactly draw a real map (I was going to but 1 second in to it my pencil decided to take control). I'm not overly happy with this, at all, I may re-do it if I get a better idea.

I actually love the map concept. I think it adds a whole new level of depth. Good job!!
