Description This is once again for English class (I finally get to show my creative side) and it's the woman from the poem "The Lady of Shalott."

I really love tragic characters and beautiful women, so the poem gave me a perfect excuse to draw one XD

This took quite a while, and I was going to put quilts in the boat, but if I were sailing off to my death, why the hell would I bother with quilts? But maybe that's just me.

PaintTool Sai is my bestest best friend ever, right now. My drawings have never looked better.

The Lady of Shalott (c) Alfred Lord Tennyson

I absolutely love this poem (and The Highwayman), and constantly find myself listening to Loreena McKennitt's lyric rendition of the poems.

I think I cry every time.

This is beautiful, Aisha. Absolutely gorgeous.

That's gorgeous!
I love her thoughtfully sad expression. And the pose.
But what really caught my eye was the hair. Those curls look like they must have taken ages to do.

I figured it was PT SAI. That program works wonders. C:

I'm glad the hair caught your eye because you are RIGHT. Those b*tch curls took forever to do.

Doesn't it?
