The theme for WEEK 1 is: {Artist Discovery}

 I'm still considering DAY 2 a "work in progress" because I feel like my vision hasn't fully emerged to the surface, yet. These are the few areas I'd like to refine:

• the shadow areas in the face and around the head

• integrate more words, doodles and splashes of ink

• experiment with different effects on the lettering

Here are some detail shots from DAY 2/30

This illustration came from the idea of following my dreams and "dream-catching". (Did you see the dream catcher in this illustration?)
