This is a quickie doodle that I did in front of the tele this evening. I feel like I've been neglecting my drawing lately as I've been consumed by my jewellery making. So I really needed to sit down and sketch as I was feeling a bit rusty, its amazing how quickly that can happen when you've had a bit of a break from drawing.
I also approached this face differently. Normally I draw the shape of the face first then fill in the features but today I started with the eyes and did the shape of the face after the features and I feel like she really took on a personality of her own. I went against everything I've ever been taught in a drawing class, hehehe I'm such a rebel! ;0) The words read 'She didn't care if it rained, she was happy and that was all that mattered.....'
Hope you are all having a great weekend!

She's lovely, none the worse for being birthed in rebellion. Don't neglect your drawing, Nicola.
Oooh, I love your style!!
love.....
Love this Nicola! I know what you mean about feeling rusty! I have been doing more painting lately and then sometimes when I go back to it I feel like I am learning all over again!
Great work! :)
I like her eyes, she looks like she's dreaming
hi there,
i do like her eyes, too! pretty hair and the tiled head give an nice expression! xxoo
I love how art takes on a personality of its own. Like the spirit is asking us to bring it to life. She is lovely~
Love the little details that you put in Nic like the strap over her shoulder and the raindrops falling on her head. Lovely xxx
She is so cute. Very nice! I know what you mean about not being able to take the time. Busy time of year!
i think her attitude is reflected in how you approached the pic as well...sometimes you just got to throw the rules out the window and have fun...
Great scketch, Nicola! :) And I love your pendats! I haven't been commenting much lately but I have been following your progress on FB. :) Great work!
She does have a personality, she is lovely and you can see her happiness in your sketch.
is she a day dreamer or just satisfied in life? the words speak the latter - maybe she is both
I love the thoughtful tilt of her head... very expressive.
xo
