Finally got this patron-sketch done! This is one of those encounters one doesn't mind coming across in some lonely wood. I'm sure she's friendly.

Coming out of a hectic week I forgot to share this sketch! I was given kind permission to share this one by last month's sketch recipient, and was given a broad free range to draw it.
