“Crown of Seeds” was created for Illustration Friday to illustrate the concept SEED. This organic crown formed of twigs and seeds has grown on the spot into a tightly structured headpiece that shapes and molds hair into a sculptural form. How tightly it constrains the hair’s movement is evident in the spillage that bursts out of the last unrestrained corner.

I finally got around to coloring this image that was drawn to illustrate the theme “primitive” for Illustration Friday. -G
