A Birthday Present-Geometric Girls

My best friend Laura Mckenzie (check out her TUMBLR!) has always been supportive and really likes the things I draw. So for her birthday present I decided to draw her some characters that she loves so much and frame them. This time I used the same pattern in each character. 

I spent some time choosing the pattern I was going to use but in the end I used a geometric/triangle pattern that also happens to be the shape that reminds me of Laura the most because she is obsessed with triangles (strange, but that is why I love her!)

I was going to use only natural colour hair on this piece because I thought Laura would like that more but I couldn't resist adding pink, lilac and electric blue hair but I still think it looked good.

One of the best things in life is spending time making something and then seen the persons reaction and I'm so pleased that she loved the piece and she couldn't believe that I made it for her. Then we went into town for a few drinks to celebrate her birthday. I haven't seen this girl since Christmas and when we met up it was like we saw and chatted all the time. I had such a good time so thank you so much for inviting me and happy 20th birthday Laura Mckenzie x x 

A Drawing a Day and Improvement

Day 29
A Drawing a Day

For the past 34 days I've been drawing everyday!
I've always wanted to get into the very good habit of drawing in a sketchbook everyday! I have tried and failed to get into this habit a few times which resulted into a few crappy drawings, stress and then just not bothering to pick up a pencil for a month. 
But this time I managed to break the 21 day mark (which is apparently how long it takes to form a new habit) and more importantly I am enjoying it. I also see slight improvement but the next step for me is to push myself more. It is good that I'm drawing everyday but if I just keep drawing the things I'm good at I won't improve.
Although I am enjoying it there are some days where I just don't have inspiration and on those days I end up with drawings I'm not pleased with, these you will never see.
BUT
I will be posting drawings that I am happy with.  Starting with the page I did on the 26th March which was day 29 on this day I also drew the Pink haired girls from my "Pop Hair" set of drawings. For the past week I've been obsessed with drawing side views of characters so I've been drawing constantly.

To view more drawings of my "A drawing a day" challenge go to my TUMBLR!!!

Pop Hair

I started a new sketchbook yesterday and these are some of the first drawings I did and I just wanted to play around with unnatural hair colours. Basically these drawings have the hair I would want but I don't think I would suit them and I'm not brave enough to dye my hair in case I damage it too much!!!
