Illustration Friday - Old Fashioned

Took a photo of this sweet ride when I was in Pisa a month ago and have been keen to draw it. It's old fashioned and totally gnarly. Probably even like the cropped version below more.
Ink drawing - digitally coloured. Had to be quick, time is precious with art exhib coming up :)

Illustration Friday - Acrobat

She looks a bit more like a ballerina but hey, I tried. We all know that only an acrobat can peace out in a hoop.
Lead pencil and watercolour overlaid on a stained paper background in Photoshop. I love watercolour, it always dries SO MUCH nicer that it looks when you first put it on. Happy days.
