Inspired by Penguin

I started reading this book called Wizard of Earthsea published by Penguin Books.
Really impressive story with a message that I cannot help but feel resonate with me. It goes something like ..
"A man, who, knowing his whole true self, cannot be used or possessed by any power other than himself, and whose life therefore is lived for life's sake and never in the service of ruin, or pain, or hatred, or in the dark."
Really inspiring little book.
So I sketched.
Nothing major right now just a concept of Dorothy. I find when I want to relax from design I delve into comic books. And I have been inspired by french illustration. I am tweaking the style a bit. I feel a little more liberated drawing this way. I find that when I draw trying to force the realism, I lose the fun of the illustration. I think I am starting to find a comfort zone that I am in a complete state of non-compromise.

I also picked up some Jeff Jones and I was instantly hooked.
I feel this is going to be a beautiful couple days of inspired illustration.
