Today is my best friend’s birthday. I spent the past few weeks working on this– in secret– for her. I did it because she always complains that I never draw her and I countercomplain that she’s hard to draw. She is! I had to give her eyelids and an extra finger just to capture the essence de bre. As it is, I’m still not convinced that I didn’t just draw a 13-year-old girl walking her dog instead of my (now) 28-year-old BFF out in the woods.
So this was my third idea. I like the way it came out. Next time I draw something I want to work on clothing folds. Also: my shading and coloring needs work. At those holes in her pants just look odd.
But I printed this out as an 8×10 glossy picture and I’m going to give it to her in a photo frame. Either that or turn it into a puzzle and give it to her that way.
Either way, my fourth idea was just to get her something from her Amazon.com wishlist. It’s on its way, just in case this idea fails. 🙂
p.s. Bre is the awesome.
p.p.s. This is my last attempt at drawing something good. I think I’ve improved. This is my attempt before that.
