I don't quite know what it is with me, but I always struggle to give my girls - whimsy or stylised - a 'normal' hair colour. Perhaps I harbour a secret desire for magenta locks myself? I know I'd love long thick tresses. I even dreamt last night that I was discussing hair extensions with Cheryl Cole while visiting in her modest semi-detached. Been having the strangest dreams lately...
I've been playing with whimseys today for my Sunday Sketch, Art Every Day and Tam's class (nothing like a bit of multi-tasking I say!). They really are rather fun, if a little harder to get right than they look! This little girl looks so innocent and sweet, but notice how she has her hands behind her back... What do you think she is hiding?
Might do some more later, but really should think about getting dressed and having some breakfast first!

LOL. When I can I love to work in my PJs almost as if once I'm dressed & fed I'll be dragged into the real world and away from my writing or other creative project. Sundays are a great day for this.
ReplyDeleteI really like the colours on this sketch - the pink with the turquoise(is that the colour, sorry not sure what it's called) works really well. I like the way you've captured possible mischief in her posture and facial expression.

Oh and I've just got to add: my 8 year old daughter was looking over my shoulder when I made the above comment and insisted on seeing more of your blog. She loved what she saw "that lady should be an artist or illustrator Mummy". I told her you already were. "Well I better get practising if I want to be as good as she is," she said. (She wants to write and illustrate her own books). She disappeared in a rush and is now at the kitchen table with an A1 piece of paper and a load of colouring pencils.
ReplyDeleteI thought you may like to know you have impressed & inspired my little girl.

She's adorable. I love her pink hair.
ReplyDeletei think the magenta locks are cute...i like the pucker i see in her lipes...and nice leggings...smiles.
ReplyDeleteI love this little girl, she is adorable. I think pink hair is beautiful. I have to my daughter has her hair pink most of the time and my grandson even showed up with a pick streak in his (he's nine).
ReplyDeleteAhhhh Lisa--I can see her in a children's book--all about her different adventures!!
ReplyDeleteI love considering what she has behind her back. I remember doing that once when I was a little girl, my hands were covered in paint.... and I did get in trouble. I love her pink hair!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh...you totally suck.....and rock! :) hahahaha. No seriously, I LOVE it. I need some lessons. tee hee SUPER duper job, Lisa.
ReplyDeleteLily is so cute and I love her little outfit.
ReplyDeleteOh she is fabulous! I love art with surreal hair colours - as it should be! She is very whimsical - you have succeeded there!
ReplyDeleteI like Lily's outfit and the colors you used. There's nothing wrong with pink hair. I see you're doing AEDM also, I am too.
ReplyDeleteI like the pink hair - I think it adds character and style
ReplyDeleteI love the pink hair as well. The colors here are so happy! I think she is hiding the can of pink spray paint she used, or her teddy bear that she also died pink! ha ha ha! She's really cute, and fun! xxoo
ReplyDeleteYour header to your blog is really creative and I also love the background, just saying. I love your character...I'm a fan of pink hair. This character gives me a RAINBOW BRITE sort of feel...really cute.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about your natural urges to give your girls colorful hair. I for one opt to (for now) to give all my girl the "updo" hair. Think of it your signature hair style / color.
ReplyDeleteWonderful work. You're branch out ... ;)
I saw go with your urge for colors as this girl looks super cute!
ReplyDeleteShe is wonderful! Love the colours! And the "not me" expression!
ReplyDeleteCute colours! That is the first thing I noticed about her. Some months ago we were watching cartoons (Naruto) and I shrieked: "I want Sakura´s hair!!!" Mati (14) looked at me and said "No way. You are not getting your hair pink". Lol! Ok, may I get it all spiky then? "If you really, really want it" I got it. :D
ReplyDeleteI love those pink pig tails! And those striped tights... love them. (I have a pair of purple and green ones! hee hee)
