Pinup

I'm back again with another pin up girl.  This one is sitting outside on a picnic blanket.  She has a basket of fruit a jar and a lollypop.

I'm totally stoked about the blanket, her skirt, legs, and the jar.  I had a bit of trouble with the color of the shadow on her arms and so it is a bit of a drawback for me.  Also, I like the shading of her top, and her bangs.

I tried really hard to make her pretty lifelike.  I think I really got it, save her face.  I know thats a somewhat important part of a painting.  I don't think it turned out too bad, just not quite right.

This one won't be my last, so stay tuned for more pinups.

Chicken Mania

In addition to last nights poppy painting session.  I also found a little time to paint a few chickens.  I really don't know why i keep painting chickens.  I do like birds, but if I were asked to list my favorite birds, chickens would be WAY down the list.

It must have to do with the fact that you can throw a few colors into a chicken shape and it always comes out looking good.

I started painting them to force myself to let the colors mix on the paper, and I guess I got a little addicted.  Well, at any rate, they are fun to paint.  I hope you like them.
