Mellie

Both strength and vulnerability are shown in "Mellie". Confident in her own skin yet she calls upon an iconic superhero for inspiration and authenticity. I have worked with pencil in a single colour to capture light, form and texture by layering, blending and crosshatching.
The artwork is professionally framed in a pale timber frame.
