growing up

Next in a gradually evolving series from the Buffy tele series.

This piece depicts a scene from the Buffy episode, "The Body". Tara comforts Willow as she copes with the death of Buffy's mother. The theme of growing older follows from "Goodbye To You" [link] as Willow

- faces the death of someone dear to her
- makes a connection with a new love (a first kiss with the Tara character)

This episode completely floored me when I first saw it, and sent me back to the childhood time of my grandfather and grandmother passing.

The pencil drawing itself was done in my 7 x 5" notepad. I took some liberties in coloring it with Photoshop, though I'm mixed on whether it looks better in sepia or in color. I may change it later.

This drawing was also entered in a DA contest (which lost, but matters less)
