Gemini

Well here she is, Finished! Just in time for the end of the year. There'll probably be some minor adjustments done after I've had chance to look at her properly, but on the whole I'd say she's complete!

This is Gemini, the second piece of what I hope will be a series of 12 Zodiac drawings. Scorpio can be found here [link]

I've spent somewhere around 55-60 hours on this piece.

Thanks to for permission to draw her photo [link]
