Don't they look happy?

There comes a time when you crave the warmth of affection; not passion, not ardour, not lust. Just simple, gentle caring. I am at that point in my life, and so are the characters you see above. This is Rhiannon and Eirik in their new guises from the new story I'm working on, a turn-of-the-century bachelor girl story. Don't they look comfortable? I am very proud of this drawing. I am very sad, though, since the original drawing is so large, that the detail is lost in this shrunken-resolution version. Email me if you want to see the original.

Drawn in 2b graphite with some ebony pencil. One reference used for the man, no reference for the woman.
