A small hedgehog with intricately hatched quills faces left against a soft rose pink ground, its delicate pale body and dark eye rendered with precise linework. The composition centers the creature in calm simplicity, balancing naturalistic detail in the spines with a gentle, almost whimsical treatment of the face and limbs. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
