Gonna find out soon, because once I’ve posted this I’ m off to the cinema. I love Alice in Wonderland and I’m a massive Tim Burton fan. Add them together and I’m in heaven.
Had some enforced downtime after a really busy week (more on that tomorrow) and finally got to do week 1 of Willowing’s Fabulous Faces course. I don’t like working in pencil and all my previous portraits have been illustrations or meant to look like someone, so doing an imaginary face, in a realistic style with unrealistic features was quite the challenge.
I’m really pleased with her though, not bad for a non-pencil user. I call her Sally, because she reminds me of the rag doll in Tim Burton’s ‘Nightmare Before Christmas’.
