There is a post over at the Drawn! website featuring other artist’s versions of the Mona Lisa. Here’s my own interpretation… I drew her a little younger than Leonardo did.

When I’m working on an illustration, I usually do a few simple thumbnail drawings. They’re really nothing more than scribbles, but it’s enough for me to tell if the composition is working, if the idea is worth continuing.  It’s all about getting the idea out of my head and onto paper as quickly as possible.  And this process usually works really well. Until now.

Here is a sketch I did a few days ago, and then set aside.  And I have no idea what it’s of.  I wish I did– it’s got a lot of movement and some interesting lines.  Is that a person on the left there? Is that a fish in the middle?  Is this even right side up? Who knows?

So if anybody has any idea what I drew, let me know in the comments… it’ll be fun. Thanks.
