Illustration Friday -BURNING

My apologies to the dozens of ants who suffered at my hands when I was a bored 9 year old with a magnifying glass. I'd like to think that in another lifetime, I'll understand the beauty of each of those tiny little lives and take a different choice as she has.

This was drawn in 1.5 hours with an H pencil in my sketch book.

  8. Love this lil character! Adore your style! I suppose I have to join in on the apologies to ants as well. Now I go out of my way to redirect them when they're in my house, instead of using deadly force (0:
