IF_Fortune


This weeks Illustration Friday*com theme is fortune. I used to make a ton of crystal ball sketches like this when I was a teenager.Back then though the subjects inside the ball were usually lost in some forsaken forest. Chalk it up to teenage moodiness.

Hi Lili - the concept and execution of this piece is spot-on. I particularly am loving the way you preserved the graphite marks radiating around the crystal ball - it creates a really great texture - keep up the good work!

I also like the radiating lines. They give it a lot of energy. I like the way you presented this topic:)

I like it too. Don't worry about how old you think you are, you are doing what you love to do.

This is a great idea for fortune!
I laughed when you told me your pet crows name! That's very clever! I had a woodpecker that used to come to my feeder and I called him Gregory. For Gregory Peck(er!) See, your name wasn't as bad as mine!!
