Artist's Comments

My brother and I sat down with some watercolours tonight. It was so nice to have some time away from the television...but I soon got frustrated with the watercolours...as per usual.

SO I started a new page and I just did curly hair. I love drawing and painting hair. And I seem to have a thing for creating curls...whenever I have a pen in my hand I am drawing curly little swirls. I get really peeved when the curl isn't quite right. I'm a little weird...

Anyway, with some watercolours and a pencil (I did the paint first and added detail with a pencil afterwards) this is what I came up with. No reference image and I am so happy with how the face turned out. I have lots of trouble with profile view of people. I like to think that think it looks a little like Mucha's work.

Please enjoy! I would really love some feedback...and if you want to :+fav: pretty please could you leave a comment too?

I hope you all have had a marvelous day!

I'm really liking the curls and it was smart to first do the watercolors and only then sketch with a pencil. Never quite works when it's done the other way around. :D

Lovely use of colors and the range there. Really gives volume to the hair!

Nice...
Great hair. I think you placed the curls very right!

Aww, thanks for the comment.

...sometimes I wish I had that much hair...but knowing me, it would probably just end up looking like a huge, fuzzy, lump of hair. But that might be cool too... :D

The longer the hair, the more time you have to spend doing stuff to it. :D

Exactly! And that is why my hair is very short. With some long bits. My sister cuts it. My younger sister. It is so much fun!

(it looks better than it sounds...I just think people put far too much effort into their hair. and besides, if you cut it, it grows!!!)

Haha, yeah. And you're lucky you've someone close to you who can wield a pair of scissors :D I fail miserably at hair cuts.

if you cut it, it grows!!!

Proven myth. :P

Haha, but the first time I cut it, I did the front and I got my dad to do the back. It's pretty much my favourite haircut ever.

It's real nice to find someone who actually likes their hair. Almost everyone who talks about hair wants something that's not them. "I wish my hair was curly" if they've straight hair and "I wish it were straight!" if it's curly. :giggle:
