Cartoon Creation

I was tempted to call this post Manga Mama…but it’s a little too slangy for me!



I was wanting to sketch, but in a colorful way… not in a gray way!



While in Florida last month we came upon a bunch of vendors as we made our way to the beer tent.   This cover-up caught my eye!  Must’ve been the bling!  The booth peddler was kind enough to let me try this on.   The skirt appeals to the gypsy in me!   I think my friend would’ve bought one for her grand-daughter if she only had her wallet with her.



I spotted this picture on flickr that I had to replicate!  Just plain fun!



I opted out of coloring in the background the manual way and instead used photoshop to render some clouds.  A little more appealing without all that stark white.  I used watercolor pencils for the hair, skirt and frame.  My favorite markers for the rest.

Again….can’t seem to tilt heads today!  Ahhh well, I wasn’t aiming for perfection anyway!

Happy Thursday everyone :)
