Ink and coffee on watercolor paper, 5″ x 8″

“Ain’t No Wifey” was drawn in a Strathmore watercolor book.  The inspiration for this drawing came from Sktchy.  The sweet face, the leopard print coat, the hat and the cool little Vans shoes hooked me and I had to draw her.  The foreshortening at this angle is tricky!  Most of the line work was done with waterproof ink, and then I re-stated some of the marks with water-soluble ink where I wanted it to bleed.  I created the tones and washes with a water brush loaded with coffee.
