Now that my book has been published, I’ve decided to take a break from writing and do some more drawing.

Here’s a picture I just finished of Burano, Italy. This piece took me approximately 25 hours. First, I sketched out the houses and boats in pen and ink on paper. I decided to apply the color digitally so I scanned in my outline and used my Wacom tablet to finish the drawing and details. I used a software program called Manga Studio, which has some great brushes and paint effects that I’ve been experimenting around with. Let me know what you think!

I just opened an online store where you can purchase prints of my artwork like this one. Check it out at jennifer-allison.fineartamerica.com.
