Eos (Aurora), Goddess of the Dawn

Prior to this drawing, I was working on an ink pen sketch of hands in my sketch book, but I just couldn't manage to figure out how to use the pen like I used to--it has been so long since I last used an ink pen (excluding the pens I use when coloring with copics) that I have forgotten the technique that I had developed for it...In light of this drawing, I have stumbled back onto my original ink pen coloring method.

This sketch came out much darker that I usually go when dealing with ink toning and while I generally like the outcome, I am not 100% happy with the face, the hair, and other little things like that. My mother, whom this was draw for, likes it though, so its all good. It was a good practice piece.
