As most are beginning to realize about me - I use my little sibs quite a bit in my sketching and inspiration, as well as random modeling for me. This little sketch was first started when I glanced out of my window to see Abs playing in the empty garden just like above - but then, to my disappointment as I feverishly tried to put her features on paper, she jumped up and came inside (it was a very blustery day and the strong winds scared her). I looked down at what I put down.... not enough for me to get that realistic movement that I've been striving for. So, I dragged her in to my room with promises of treats and toys (maw-ha-ha - trickery is my game!) and was able to get this down. It's only a sketch but I want to redo it in a larger size soon.
(Thanks so much Sophia for hosting Sunday Sketches!)
Much love everyone - happy sketching!

ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely! Her hair and all the details are wonderful!
ReplyDeletefound you through Sunday sketches and so impressed with your skills... I think you captured the gusty wind through her hair... xx
ReplyDeletei quite like it. i definitely see the movement in her hair. she looks like a little fairy angel. i absolutely love that she's playing with a truck, too! :-)
ReplyDeleteyou are sooo talented.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Sophia, Victoria, Carol, Heather, Tracey and Christine. And Mollygirl - I love it that you notice the truck - it truly was what she was playing with (what with having five brothers she has learned to adapt to the surroundings in her own special way (in her other hand was a pollypocket doll though that was a Superpolly saving the day=)).
ReplyDeleteThank you all - you're all so sweet.
this is wonderfully charming! How fun that you have a model right at home...
