Roses For Margaret is a digital art piece based on the characters from my novel-in-progress of the same name, dealing with growing up in an all-girls school, same-sex attraction/first love and illness. These are the main characters, Evangeline and Margaret, drawn in Paint Tool SAI and edited with Topaz Labs on Photoshop to get a traditional, charcoal effect in black and white. The coloured version, unedited, is below.
I have drawn them, referencing ball-jointed dolls for the facial features and eyes, to make them appear innocent and young.
