Dunno what the best is. I’m never satisfied with anything I do anyway, it’s the nature of the thing. This one has always been popular as a print:

It’s a quote from the Bacchae by Euripedes. At the end the main character’s head is torn off by his own mother with her bare hands under the influence of Dionysus and she parades it round saying “look at this young lion I caught without a trap”. The text at the bottom says Bacchae and Euripides.

One of my favourite comic-book things is seeing the reference photos that artists have of partners and family members in various dramatic poses.

An illustrator friend of mine often has to resort to taking movement photos of herself with gormless expressions and she puts them up on FB every so often for a laugh.

Drew a really good picture in primary 2 or 3 (so I’d have been 6 or 7 years old) as part of some nativity drawing competition. It was shepherds on a hill overlooking nazareth, with wee sheep :sheep: and the star :star2: and everything. It didn’t win.

A year later the same competition was happening again. I drew an identical picture, and again failed to win.

Remember when someone did a wicked drawing at school, and everyone would be all “You traced that”.
