I hope everyone is enjoying the much needed sunshine? Glorious or what!!
Here is my entry for the fab Alpha Challenge over at The Craft Barn, if you fancy having a go please pop on over HERE for all the details, and please pop on over HERE for a peek at all the A entries so far.
I got my 'big girl knickers' on again and drew this one!! The only A in my dictionary that fit my theme (Mythology) and inspired me was AMAZON - nothing like a strong woman hey!!
I'll fess up!! I totally chickened out of doing a full body picture!! I stuck with a portrait style (comfort zone ish lol) with lots of leonine inspired hair. Here you go........
I started by sketching her with a mechanical pencil (only way I have found to maintain a decent soft point to work with!) and outlined her with a permanent marker. I coloured her with pro-markers and finished off with a gold gel pen - seemples.
Many thanks for popping by and leaving a comment if you feel you would like to, your time and input really does mean a lot to me.
Huge hugs
