Gypsies Galore

I have recently been interested in Gypsies. I have always liked things that involve magic of some sort (witches being my favorite from a very young age), so it was only a matter of time until I started drawing these lovely ladies. The first one is just a sketch  using acrylic inks to fill in some values. The bottom is an illustration I did for a Society of Illustrators competition. The majority of things I do is by hand. It's always nice to practice control with a paint brush and get a feel of your mediums. Now I just gotta go find that pen I used for outlining....
