Gift

A co-worker recently asked for a favor. He wanted something special for his wife's birthday this month, using my pencils and paper. How could I resist such a fun project? =) I didn't give him a price for this, it's a gift for his sincere intention. I hope she'll like it.

 I haven't done any WIP for a while now, so I thought I'd want to share. This is done on a 9x12" Strathmore Bristol Vellum board. Thank you all for your comments on my previous post =) They are very much appreciated.
