This drawing was made as a sketch on a checkered paper, and the logical thing would have been to copy it onto a clean piece of paper while fixing the many errors it has (and minding all the small detail as well). However, why be logical? I decided I wanted to control the picture process tools of Photoshop better, and decided to learn how to do so while cleaning the picture with the software. It took months! Every time I worked a bit on it, got tired, and left it. Re-drawing the piece might have been much quicker, but this way my picture processing abilities have improved drastically. It’s a fan art of Angela, a character out of the pages of Scott Mcfarlane’s Spawn, I got to know through Aria – the comic book that started it all…

There was a time when I drew Angela whenever I felt angry, impatient or put down. It’s been a while since, and this is not a very typical sketch from that time, but that’s a nice story. When I was upset, my Angelas would be furious, and usually crouching in a very threatening position, unlike this calm model here. Still, I like her.
