I’m really happy the way this came out. Its really for a friend. She’s going through a lot of hard times right now. Its just a thumb though it may look large on your screen but really its only about 3 by 3in.

I came up with it while doodling trying to come up with something I was going to want to work on and was happy with was proving to be a chalange. I didn’t plan to add the face till after I finished the feather. Something told me to keep working with this proticular doodle and I’m glad I did.

Slowly I started to see a face it took me awhile to get the curves right though. I was going to have her with long hair that reached across the page but it just seemed heavy and not fitting to the girl. So I shortened it up. I guess you could say she told me too.

I did a little bit more refining to the hair and face added the eye and such. Then I thought it needed colour so I whipped out my watercolour pencils and started blending and shadding. After that I used a small brush to bring out the watercolours.

In real life there are a lot of mistakes I edited it some in photoshop removing those strary lines and such.

Very happy with it.
