Illustration Friday: Pale

I've always been a fan of Illustration Friday. I'd go over to the main page, look at what other people were doing then sigh and find something else to do. I don't know if it was this particular topic or if it was something inside me that just clicked (like finally starting my blog) but I drew this picture.

It's a reproduction from an art book Learn Pencil Shading: Landscapes and Objects 1. I've had it for years and always looked at the pictures, occasionally done one or two then put it safely back on my book shelf'; until Illustration Friday gave me the topic PALE and the chance to step out and go crazy.

So here it is.
