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.
