Illustration Friday: Together


The I-Friday for this week was "together" so I drew this yesterday when I was finished with my triad mash-up painting.

Also, lyrics from Fall Out Boy's new song "Alone Together" \m/

I think it looks better with the charcoal.


And here is my finished product, matted and fancy-looking.
