Thanks to all of you who commented on my last post. I so appreciate the encouragement especially when I try something new. Today I have a new girl to share. I sketched her out late Friday night. I am always my most creative at night. Not good for sleep but good for art!
I used graphite and then added a black pen to outline and make her eyes pop. (you all know how I just love eyes!) I was not too happy with her hair but it was late and I just didn't want a do over.
I am sharing her over at Sunday Sketches this week.
Hope you are enjoying a lovely weekend! Been painting today, a new portrait I am excited to share soon! Amazingly I don't hate it! lol
Lou and I went to the movies earlier today to see "The Vow". OMG sooo good!! Seen any good movies lately??
She's very pretty...as usual. :-) And thanks for the info on "The Vow" too. I was wondering if it was gonna live up to all the hype!
