teadrunktailor:monthofloveart:The Lionessby Elisabeth Alba7″ x 8″, watercolor and acryla gouache on Arches watercolor paperFor the first Month of Love 2016 challenge, Heroes, I immediately knew I had to draw a portrait of one of my favorite characters, Alanna, nicknamed the Lioness, from Tamora Pierce’s Song of the Lioness quartet. I first started reading that series when I was around 12 or 13, and I thought Alanna was this incredible, strong female character, which I hadn’t seen much of in the books I was reading. Also, these books, as well as Ms. Pierce’s other books, inspired my career, since they were exactly the kind of books I wanted to make illustrations for.Bonus points due to functional hair-style. Lovely rendering of the armour! -- source link
