7. The fabric of the girl's clothing is perfect!

It's also an outfit I would have worn as a girl.

Lovely picture!

[Diamond_Dog]

10. Thank you CrispyQ!

I would have worn something like that, too. I struggled and thought and practiced on another piece of paper until I thought I could create it properly. Thank you for noticing!

9. So beautifully done,

and oh so sweet! I love this! It tells a story.

[Diamond_Dog]

12. Thank you Goddessartist!

Sometimes I like subject matter just because it’s pretty and sometimes I like subjects that remind me of a feeling or emotion. I guess I was in the mood to do the latter today. I guess I’m kind of capricious! No rhyme or reason as to what strikes me.

[Goddessartist]

25. I do the same!

I create from dreams, emotions, thoughts, visions.....

I love your work - and as many have said, if you wanted to, you could illustrate children's books.

I just don't like anyone telling me what to create lol.

13. Surely you have

submitted your work to publishers to be considered for drawing children's books!

[Diamond_Dog]

14. No, I'm just a hobbyist at this point!

Thank you justaprogressive!

23. Mom was a trained artist...

You have the talent.

[Diamond_Dog]

24. I did major in art in college

Graphic design, although I started out in Illustration.

[Diamond_Dog]

But thanks for your kind words!
I just like to draw!

28. Adorable. Charming. Beautifully done. I particularly admire the clothing and hair. Two areas I struggle with,

[Diamond_Dog]

31. Thank you, MLAA

Funny how some images give us trouble. These quick sketches are my way of taking baby steps to get back to where I used to be. I used to love drawing people.

[Deuxcents]

33. This reminds me when my niece was about this age and we'd take a bag of potato chips

Down to the pond near her house and feed the ducks. Great time to bond with her and now this drawing brings back some real sweet memories. Very nice 😊

[Diamond_Dog]

34. Thank you so much, Deuxcents!

I’m thrilled that my drawing brought you a happy memory. Simpler times, eh? Thank you for taking the time to comment.
