An ink drawing
Looking up at the clouds today it's hard to tell if it is going to rain or not, the weather reports say no, but the clouds are saying something different.
In this drawing the figure is lying down on the ground and looking up at the grey skies above, waiting patiently for the raindrops to fall on their face.
The background for the drawing was created by applying layers of ink and water to the paper with a brush. When the paper was dry I added the details to the figure using my dip pen and black drawing inks.
