IF: "Poise"

This week's Illustration Friday topic is "Poise". This picture is sort of opposite of the topic. Perhaps the man enduring the "Blah..." is the one with poise. I ... uh ... I mean, he is just wanting to enjoy his meal with his family, and yet the "Blah..." gets in the way and goes on and on.

I decided to experiment with two versions of this piece. The first is done with brush and ink and a little bit with the ink bottle dropper. The second was scanned and digitally manipulated with the Paint program that comes with Windows, a sort of a cheap way around using Photoshop or Illustrator.
