Illustration Friday: Grounded

As my mind turns to creating folk tales and new worlds, I have been inspired to create an illustration depicting a moment in a tale-to-be....

In response to the Illustration Friday brief word this week 'grounded', I have just created this illustration entitled 'Grounded'

 I have been intrigued and suprised as in creating my draft illustration the snapped rope looked unnatural - but by drawing the rope as rope is made, with twisted materials, the slack appearance became life-like.  It seems that physics and illustration are intertwined!
