Vanity Illustrated
I’ve had a bit of a drawing breakthrough in the past couple of days. I’ve begun experimenting with drawing with straight lines. It’s astonishing how much difference it makes.
I usually dread drawing because it doesn’t come easily to me, but the day I drew this was one of those precious, magical days when every line flowed effortlessly.
I’ll give a visual example another time and maybe even a quick and dirty how-to, but for now here’s my submission for this week’s Illustration Friday theme: “Vanity”.

Nellie Windmill is the project of Katherine Herriman... (that’s me). Hi! I'm a painter. I create more opportunities for daydreamer types to keep their heads in the clouds. But really, I just want to add to the beauty in the world. Since 2009, my nomadic studio dwells in a motorhome called "Nettle", somewhere in Europe.
I love the feel to this, nice work!
