Sassy Girl Sketch

'she wanted to dance'

I just love sketching. It frees my mind and I just never know what or who will end up on the page. This girl was sketched out using a number 2 pencil. Typically I go for my graphite but thought I would change it up this time. lol

I have been flipping through the pages of Julie Nutting's Collage Couture the other day which inspired me to sketch out this sassy girl with the fancy outfit. Its a fun book full of great techniques for fashionista type "she art" As you can see I went a bit wild with her hair. And then daring with her outfit! But I love it.

I am sharing her this week for Sunday Sketches. Don't forget to stop by Sophia's blog to see all the sketched loveliness being shared this week!

    Your girl is definitely sassy with her fantastic hair covering part of her face... Wonderful!

    I love your journal page in the post below - I'm so glad you are able to get your feelings out and into your journal in such a beautifully creative way - I always enjoy your black and white paintings :)

    The photos of Bosco that you have posted are adorable and such a great tribute to the amazing dog and companion I know he was to you.

    Sending big hugs your way and wishes for continued healing during this difficult time...
