black – Khadeja Ali draws

Untitled Dark Alley

drawing of a mysterious creature in the shadow of an alleyway between two buildings with packages and a garbage bag standing in front of the buildings. It is drawn with black marker in a dark comic book or cartoon style.

This is one of my rare marker drawings. The dark alley and its dweller were the perfect subject matter to explore an illustrative, narrative style. Sometimes I think I might like to try drawing a comic, and if I did, I’d definitely be using black markers. Like many others, I associate using black marker with storytelling.
