illustration friday: primitive

“primitive,” for illustration friday. ink and charcoal on card stock.
date begun: monday, 21st april, 2008.
date completed: monday, 21st april, 2008.

artist comments: i could have gone the easy route, and drawn a neanderthal or something like that. but i had to be difficult. this image is actually slightly modified from my original idea, and i’m happy i took another day to think on it more.

not sure where i was going with this idea, but something’s in there.
