Some of the feather's outline (created using brown drawing ink and a dip pen) wasn't quite picked up during the scanning, but I have to say that it does perhaps give the feather more of a radiant, mystical feel to it.

Prince Ivan and the Firebird
Another one from last year. I did truly mean to post this back a while ago, but I didn't get round to even scanning it in. This picture illustrates a scene from the most famous of the Russian Firebird stories (the full title of the tale in question is Prince Ivan, the Firebird and the Grey Wolf, though many English-language editions are just called The Firebird). In the scene, Prince Ivan, youngest son of a great tsar, catches one of the Firebird's tail feathers, famed for shining brightly like golden stars.
