This illustration is called “Resilience” because it was an exercise in resilience. I screwed it up badly at the beginning. There were lines that did not turn out where they were supposed to be. I laid them down with a gel pen, so there were no do-overs. I considered starting over, but I decided to stick it out because that’s how I am and because I have successfully salvaged drawings in the past. Sure enough, I was able to make some adjustments and come out with a passable illustration. I feel like I grew as a draftsman by having the confidence and fortitude to stick it out.
I like that the look on her face is resilient. Does she look like she’s going to stay down? Nah.
