IF: Surrender

     Hi again! Just posting another late project for Illustration Friday! (I swear I will start posting them on time!) Anyway this time the theme was "Surrender" and when I think of the word surrender, the first thing that always comes to mind is the Wicked Witch of the West from the Wizard of Oz  sky writing "Surrender Dorothy!", however instead of sticking to her traditional broom stick, I decided to put her in an old fashioned airplane (just for the fun of it). Also I would have added some flying monkeys but I didn't wan't to get too carried away...
     Dorothy is leaning a little, and doesn't look very well grounded, but it was my first time drawing someone from behind, so the proportions are probably really off, and my Prismacolor could be blended better (there are noticeable streaks of colored pencil in the sky) but that's what art is about, learning from your mistakes, and if you can critique yourself then that's half the battle!
