Girls, Girls, Girls

So I’ve been on a bit of a rampage – creating lots of girl characters. I’m just letting myself go and creating what I like…even if it’s cute and simple. It all started when I decided to blow up one of my ATC sketches onto a canvas board. I actually started coloring with Copic markers and while waiting for it to dry, started on more boards. In the end, I realized it’s a huge ink suck to use markers, so started painting them up. Normally I wouldn’t be going assembly-line style…but I just couldn’t hold in the sketches! So here’s a little peek of a few girls, but whole room is filled with them :)

Hope everyone is doing well and btw, yesterday was Love a Tree Day and I created a cute illo that is posted on www.hollyknitlightly.com – check it out and leave some love! Until next time!

    Oh, I LOVE them- it all looks like so much fun! I am envious you have a “thing” you can sort of do that you enjoy and that looks so nice when it’s done!

      hi chel! oh thanks so much…sometimes I think it’s all too simple and so “normal” because everyone draws pretty girls, you know? but I’ve come to realize that I just have to do what comes naturally…I can’t not be me… :) thanks for all your support!

      thanks so much, lisa! I believe we can all learn to draw and doodle away…just takes a bit of practice. I’m still learning so much, but love creating little girl characters lately…
