ReplyDeleteReally nice, very playful and full of expression!! I might have to give pastels a try sometime :) ~Lauren
ReplyDeleteWow!! I love these! The way the face blends with the background, the colours you've used, her expression! Everything! What a lovely style you have. I just read through some of your older posts and I can't believe that you have only started drawing this year!!! Unbelieveable! I can't wait to watch your journey!!! Great work!
ReplyDeleteI like the addition of the butterfly... I always associate them with freedom & that seems perfect for your subject.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see more :)

Wonderful sketches and the colors you used are very rich and blend so well together. I have tried pastels a few times and find I get as much or more on me as on the paper so I quit using them as I am so messy. Maybe I will try them again as I love the look you can achieve.
ReplyDeleteI think that smile(s) says so much, wonderful sketches
ReplyDeleteThat's a knowing smile she has.
ReplyDeleteLove it
