Aries - Pencil Drawing

I'm a huge proponent of Astrology, and I'm not referring to the type of astrology you find in horoscopes you read in fashion magazines. Some of my friends tell me I should call myself an astrologer already. But I feel I'm far from deserving of that claim, at least for the moment.

I've been wanting to do a series of astrology-themed illustrations for a while. Hopefully I can keep the winds of inspiration on my sails strong enough so that I go all the way through with this motif.

Aries - First sign of the Western Zodiac - Cartoon Version

Happy astrological new year! I'm actually almost a day late, as the sun's 1st degree of our symbolic astrological year occurred at approximately 6:45 PM last night, at least on my side of the world. But most popular sources mark Aries, first sign of the Western zodiac, as commencing on the 21st, and we still have another 29° to go, so I'm still on schedule, methinks. I have been working on several illustration and design projects simultaneously, including one that will probably take me another year to complete. So this new series of astrological signs, in this cartoon fashion, is a nice respite for right now. In the background are Taurus and Gemini.
