Broken- I had a few other ideas before this hit me. When I had thought of the story of the broken sand dollar I knew I had to do it immediatly. It really is true, too. Five white doves EVERY time you break open one!!!
(The writing says,: Now break the center open and here you will release, the five white doves awaiting to spread good will and peace!)
This is in graphite, then watercolour pencils, then sakura ink.

"Remote II"-( I coloured the one below and it took a lot of detail so here it the original in graphite and ink) Illustration Friday challenge. "The King will not be happy when he finds out he needs to re-moat again!" Jasper, the royal dog knew he shouldn't have done it, but he couldn't help himself...he simply HAD to dig! Something, something smelled good and he had to find it!
