Trapped in a well

This is my first attempt to do anything. My partner told me about this Illustration Friday doohickey. The theme this week was SONG. So I figured since I often hide myself away alot in dark places, and that songs are a good way out of those holes I dig for myself, I'd better draw me a well.

So here it is. Me looking down on me trapped in a well.

Hope y'all like it.


I used pencil, then watercolour pencils (smudged with a kitchen towel) then Photoshop to get the griminess I was looking for.

I think you used my watercolour pencils to great effect! Love the texture and darkness, contrasted with the lightness of the sky.

PS Are you sure you're not a cowboy?

From the look of you in the well, doesn't look like there's much point in you digging yourself out of this particular well, unless your gonna bury the bones. perhaps a different well-one where there is still hope of resurrection.
An most amazing idea for Song. and marvelous artwork.
