Tennis Anyone? With Pen and Ink

I did this little spot playing with Corel X. I love it! While I enjoy
working with the software, I still feel there is nothing like good
old pen and ink and watercolor. I plan to get back to doing some soon.
Have a good week everyone!

Amazing....I would have assumed they were done *by hand*.
I am a software luddite....and I guess I just love the mess on my fingers (and table and clothes, and occasionally face! LOL!!!) too much to break in the grey cells with new thoughts....I shall enjoy yours instead! :)

XXOO!!

LOVE it! She is the best dressed player on the courts. No tacky mini-minis for her! I need to borrow this outfit. Maybe I'll play better.

MWAH!
