Description
Ok so I had no idea what to title this, and Libra just seemed too obvious.

Libra is the only inanimate sign of the zodiac, all the others representing either humans or animals. Many modern astrologers regard it as the most desirable of zodiacal types because it represents the zenith of the year, the high point of the seasons, when the harvest of all the hard work of the spring is reaped. Librans too are among the most civilized of the twelve zodiacal characters and are often good looking. They have elegance, charm and good taste, are naturally kind, very gentle, and lovers of beauty, harmony (both in music and social living) and the pleasures that these bring. (I'm a total Libran...but being born on the cusp of Libra and Scorpio I also have traits of scorpio...not gonna tell what those are...just use your imagination )
Exerpted from [link]

Drawn for my illustration techniques class-- "Zodiac" project.
I was striving for a symmetrical drawing but of course nothing is technically symmetrical....in this drawing at least. My scanner doesn't make the gold shimmer like in real life...so fuck it. I really like the concept and drew the basic symbol for libra in the background at the last minute.

Tools:
12x18'' Charcoal paper with an 8 1/2x11 image area
Prismacolor pencils--Gold, Silver, Dark Brown
A little millenium pen thrown in there for the title "Libra"
