The first thing I thought of when I saw the theme for Illustration Friday was good things come in small packages. My wife is a good thing (well, great really) and she is small.
Added:
Some of you asked to see the original pencil sketch before I did any Photoshop clean up. The faces in couch as well as the texture came from whatever was on the flip side of the sheet when I scanned it. My wife had been watching TV, but I lost interest in the background once I had completed her and the couch.
Thanks for the feedback.

nice illustration
Great sketch and nice textures.
I agree with you, good things come in small packages, nice capture of scene !
Awe! you gave me goosebumps! You are such a sweet husband! Excellent sketch!
Love the composition and pose. Great sketch!
This is really lovely, Tony! She looks like she's lost in a daydream (maybe thinking of you?)... I really like how you've rendered the different textures and how you've put her partially off the page. What did the background look like before the photoshop?
Thanks for your comment this week..BTW, I usually research my non-literary topics to get the facts straight. I actually learned quite a bit about madolins and lutes as I was gathering information for this week's post!
She looks beautiful- at least from this angle. You've captured her with composition & pose.
very nice and a sweet sentiment!
I love the textures here they are great! And it was a lovely thought too.
Wonderful image!
....what everyone else said...very sweet
I wish I'd thought of that. It would have made my wife very happy.
Very nice tribute to your wife. She looks very relaxed in this illo. Well done Tony. Cheers!
That is a really sweet sentiment about your wife. I like the texures here. I'd like to see the original pencil sketch, too.
Excellent drawing and great tribut to your wife.
What a romantic! Great sketch
hiya toni, funny how my wife is also very petite but I thought of germs.
:)
but then that says more about me than about my wife.
btw. I have borrowed my dog's blogger identity. It's actually scott
anyway I want to see the drawing from before you photoshopped it.
I'm afraid I'm not as keen as some on the textures.
anyhow nice job
love scott
Lovely drawing!
I like your drawing very much. You capture quite well your wife's smallness and sense of relaxation
Great drawing! I like her pose, very natural and comfortable.
Nice work and the tv doenst matter only her...and the couch i guess.:) Cheers
well you sure keep your paper clean tony.
I love the way that the lines of the underlying pattern unite the legs and the couch.
yes I like this more than the photoshopped one
thanks tony, for going to the trouble of putting it up.
love scott
Wow I like your pencil sketch.
you should post more of your sketches.
your wife looks very content.
Sweet sentiment for your wife, nice rendering.
that is a cool sketch! :)
This is a very expressive sketch. I especially like the 'faces' on the couch when you look a little closer.
