So a while ago, Neil Gaiman wrote a series of short stories called A Calender of Tales based around the months of the year by using his twitter account to ask people what the stories should be about. He's finished them all is is now asking for artists to submit their illustrations for them! I decided to focus on the November tale, which is about a woman who is tired of her constant medical problems and therefore decides to burn all her records in order to start over again before she dies. I wanted to make her appear small and distant, because that was the feeling I was getting from the her character, and also why I used very little color and went for a black and white composition. I worked in a watercolor wash with graphite to get in the details. Hopefully I'll get noticed and maybe get an honorable mention or something! Wish me luck!
