Illustration Friday "Dusty"

You never know what you might find in a dusty old attic! My grandparents' attic was a lot like this one. When we eventually had to clean out their house, my most interesting find was a trunk which contained a very old porcelain doll's head with beautiful blond hair. I don't know what happened to the rest of the doll's body, but someone had saved the head.

For this illustration, I used black prismacolor pencil and a limited palette of burnt umber and ultramarine blue (and a tiny bit of alizarin crimson mixed in for the face).
