Only a few days left till the trip, and I haven't been drawing much. Here's a picture based off a Bettie Page pinup.



I didn't do that great a job on the colour, especially the background. How the heck do you do backgrounds in marker without streaking, anyway? Saturate the area with as much ink as it can handle?

At least I now have something to do with myself if I end up riding the bus all winter. I mean, apart from knitting socks.
