Final for my illustration class for the 2013 semester.
It's St. Cecilia, Patron Saint of Music, alongside her husband, Valerian.
I chose to draw St. Cecilia because I wanted to try incorporating a lot of iconic symbology into a piece. I just finished up 2 semesters worth of Italian art history and was feeling inspired. Points to you if you know her story and you can guess all the iconic imagery associated with her martyrdom.
Graphite on Paper, Colored in Pscs5.

My name is Samantha Rae Duke. I grew up in southern California and moved to North Carolina in 2004. I have drawn longer then I can remember and, as of December 2013, I have a Bachelors degree in Fine Arts with a concentration in Illustration from East Carolina University. I love art, nature, fantasy and fairy tales.
