Original Pen & Ink Drawing by Anita Inverarity
From an ugly duckling to a beautiful Swan
One of my first pen and ink drawings in this
style. Done around 20 years ago and with a dip pen (nib) and Indian Ink. I have done this piece about 5 times for exhibitions over the years (different sizes and slightly different details). The idea was loosly based on the Hans Christian Andersen classic “The Ugly Duckling”.
Original NFS but I have commissioned variations of this design on request and a brand new brass etching will be coming soon (2012)
Anita Inverarity is a fine art illustrator residing in North East Scotland. Her intricate linework is influenced by the classic victorian illustrators, pop surrealism and underground culture giving it an up to date modern twist.
