Talent - The Accordionist

He stood shaking and shaken in the doorway.  "Do you still play the accordion?"  Of course, the question was really, "Will you still help me?"
-The Book Thief, by Markus Zusak, 2005

I read this book more than two months ago and still think about it.
Pen and ink.

  3. This illustration has a wonderfully conveyed oppressive darkness to it, which contrasts very nicely indeed with the light that comes both literally from the doorway, and from the hope of help. The textures are handled beautifully and the narrative is depicted well. Great work!

    1. Thanks, Mark. And it was a bit of a stretch on "Talent" no?
