Strong women x 2: the birth of my daughter (2 plus years ago but still amazing...) as endured by my lovely wife, was the single greatest feat of strength and determination that I have ever witnessed.
Beautiful! The expressions are so calm and peaceful yet the heavy lines suggest something different. love the textures and the warmth of the muted palette.
I love this image. I can relate! They both look so peaceful after such hard work!There's depth and such wonderful contrast and powerful lines! Beautiful work!!
what a beautiful tribute to someone whom you obviously love! i love ths simplistic style and bold (but not overpowering) colors/style. thanks for sharing and posting.
Thanks Jeope and all - This image is ink with digital color (photo shop duotones). I've been feeling a pull towards stronger line art lately and have tried to dedicate my Illustration Friday efforts to this pursuit. We'll see how long I can manage the originals every week. Already not sure about the next one...
