Last year, I drew this figure as part of my Art Journal - for a page I called "bloom where you grow" http://ajeweljournallingthrough.blogspot.com/2010/02/week-5-bloom-where-you-grow.html . I quite liked the figure and wanted to use her in my sketch journal, but wanted to add more colours to the piece. The background includes yellow, pale green, blue, lilac and orange. I used tracing paper to copy the "heart believe heart" from Traci Bautista's Creative Doodles Collage kit http://www.etsy.com/listing/62777824/creative-doodles-collage-kits-limited - the rest is my handwriting LOL

Bloom - week 39 Preview

Now this could get confusing I realise... I've got some catching up to do but because of the VIP pass, I have access to the forecoming week's tasks early. So my journal at the moment is at week 14, but I have also pages for week 39 too. However, no probs, I'll catch up the inbetween at some point. So this is the second page for the week 39's word of "Bloom".

AJC10: Week 5 - Bloom where you Grow

The Blog of the Week for this week's Art Journal journey is Cori Dantini's and her art inspired the above picture. I haven't draw anything for a long time so getting pencil and watercolour paper out was daunting but that why they make pencil rubbers :). I pencilled out the idea and then used my black pen to go round everything using the thicker end to frame the drawing. I used watercolour pens and wetted the drawn hair, adding some pink lines from a sharpie to darken some highlights.
