JAR OF HEARTS

I used to love fine art class back in senior school; just sitting down with my ipod plugged in and drawing for two hours straight. Everything time I think about it I have the urge to get out a sketch pad and doodle.


I drew this with pencil - you can't really see the detail because the picture isn't great quality. I found the original image online (just google 1914 Great War map) It's basically a map of Europe, giving each country an animal characateur i.e. England as a lion, France as a boar and Russia as a bear. 


This is a drawing I did in black pen only. I honestly can't remember the name of the artist but their original image was far more detailed than mine; the pen I had was too thick for all the detail. 


I did this drawing quite quickly actually, its pencil only. Again - as its only fair - I really need to start writing down the artists names of the drawings that inspire me. The image above was inspired by a pencil drawing of an African lady in a head dress I saw on Google. 

None of these drawings are exact copies of the originals, I've added my own touches, taken away details and changed things I don't like etc, but they're pretty much similar to the originals. I hope ya like 'em :)
