This was supposed to be a quick pencil sketch which turned into one of my long term masterwork assignments. The permanence of ink makes you think a bit harder about what you do on paper, because you can't erase it like you can with charcoal. This was very challenging for me but also extremely satisfying.

A child stands in the foreground looking at a whale floating in a red sky, trees can bee seen in the mid-ground.
