illustration friday - "visitors"


Perhaps I took a more abstract view of the topic, but ancient peoples believed the stars were actually their ancestors that visited them every night. I always thought that was a comforting story.

This friendly little nebula is a charcoal sketch I created earlier this summer.

Great charcoal Ashley. I can appreciate the nod to the ancestors. Cultural stories and myths are amazing to study and really can open your mind.

Nice work.
I'll look at the star in a different way now.
Thanks!
