Here’s another example of my step from pencil to ink. When I’m feeling lazy, I don’t like to over-detail my drawings  and prefer the happy accident whilst I’m inking. Of course, this is ‘living on the edge’ a little artistically, but sometimes, I don’t feel like drawing the image twice.

In Greek mythology, tree nymphs. Dryads were originally the spirits of oak trees (drys: “oak”), but the name was later applied to all tree nymphs. They were nature spirits who took the form of beautiful young women, and it was believed that they lived only as long as the trees they inhabited.
