Betty Broadbent Illustrations

So here are 3 drawings for my Drawing & Mixed Media class for my biography project. These are in progress so they appear to be slightly unfinished. I did the tattoo drawings in watercolor then scanned them. I then cut them out in photoshop and placed them over the images to create the feeling of Betty being tattooed. It was interesting trying to create a aesthetic difference between the tattoo drawings and the drawings of Betty. So here they are:

Betty Broadbent at the P.T. Barnum Circus

So for my drawing and mixed media class we had to do an illustrated biography of a person/thing. I chose to do a series of illustrations about Betty Broadbent who was one of the first women tattoo artists. She was also a sideshow act because her whole body was covered in tattoos. This is one of my in progress line drawings of Betty at the circus with a horse. There aren't any tattoos on her body yet because I am still trying to figure out how to work them into the images.
