This is another example of work from my "illegitimate" Studio Art class in my senior year of High School. I was in the thick of my 2 year period of soul searching through my artwork and felt inspired by the Court Royals of the Suit of Swords from the Thoth Tarot Deck painted by Lady Frieda Harris. The card in particular was the Queen of Swords. I took the general color scheme of these 4 cards and proceeded to draw a sort of self portrait which evolved into the finished product. The illustration is a blend of pencil, color pencil, pastel and chalk.
