One day I went to draw a backdrop for the play and down the street saw that beauty. Garbage truck was backing up passing few centimetres from me, unable to make a turn on narrow Brooklyn’s street. I closed my eyes when it passed that elegant antique Jaguar. I think it is Jaguar SS 100 from 1937, built in England. I can’t help it, being charmed by cars. Used ink and 2 Kuretake pens.

At last, Queen of all you survey. Well done. Now keep posting lovely stuff like this otherwise some others will usurp your crown. A happy New Year to you and yours.

Thank you very much Bob. Happy New Year to you and Margaret! I treasure your present on my table, holding breath, waiting when I’ll be ready to dive into Inktense blocks. And my present to you is still here till I’ll figure out the proper way to pack it. I am trying to adjust my head for the Crown.

Congratulations on your crown, Nikira! Well done! Well deserved!
I love the gently fading background behind the car on this one.

Thank you Margie, I am too shy for the crown, so will use it for something completely inappropriate like a bird’s nest or cracking walnuts. Really I had no time for background so scraped with pencil and watched ink going into grooves.

It is great, but I miss MY crown. I want it back. Gimme my crown back…
Wink, wink, nudge, nudge…

Really, Зиза, stop teasing and post your Nepal adventures and I can stretch the Crown, so it will fit our both heads. Depends on how tall you are. I am 5.6″
