Her Pigness

I thought I'd show Mildred how to draw.  Well, after all, I did teach her to play the trumpet, and a pen's a lot lighter, so what's to lose?  As her model, Mildred chose a close friend of hers, her favorite porcine, Her Pigness.

The pen was a regular ink pen, full of runny India ink.  Mildred filled herself up with water and then spit out little droplets all over the paper.  Then, she added the pen work.  That way, when the pen ran into the water, it would do Runny Things.
 
You know, expand, and provide weird, unanticipated blob-ification.

A few of those 'droplets' turned into the shadows at Her Pigness' feet.  Pretty cool, eh?  The color
was all fly-by watercolor bombs, courtesy of Mildred's aviation prowess.
