yay – I finally got some time to work on my whimsy girls – And I went ahead and used some of my really nice watercolour paper and gave my gauche a try.
While I was painting last night I realised something, I have finally reached a state of mind, where I’m comfortable with my work. My drawings do gets messed up, and very often they don’t turn out as fantastic as I have envisioned them *Grin*, but instead of loosing my nerve and stop in the middle of an illustration or a painting – I hear a voice telling me to keep on going, and wait to pass judgement before the piece is finished. And you know what? – that is excellent advise
– because most of the time, an illustrations doesn’t seem that great before all the shadows and lines have been made *doh*
And another thing that my inner monster have learned, it doesn’t matter if an illustration doesn’t turn out as expected – because you can always draw a new one.
I finally got it *running around, hands in air*
Happy weekend to all



Fantastic! So glad you’re managing to complete them and not worry too much! I always think my art doesn’t look as good when I’ve just done it, but I find if I leave it for a bit then look at it again, I’m proud of what I’ve done.
My art is never as I picture it in my head, but when I come back to it, I find it’s taken on a unique beauty all of it’s own!
