I looked and looked on Flickr for a person painting a mural. I wanted to see the entire person, actually I wanted to find a girl painting a mural from about this distance away……No luck, none!! Ugh!! So, off I went to draw an imaginary person and I’m not very happy with her. She’s too simple and in my mind I had her more realistic. But she works. Enough.
Decided that I'd do the block background in the Rainbow colors. You remember how I like those colors?
This is a total take on my Sketchbook Project’s Welcome Page. I enjoyed doing that page so much, I thought I’d do a repeat.
This little Zen bird appears sad, must be the slant of the eyes……But really he’s not.
Just plain fun to fill in the Bird with all different random doodles and patterns….
I really would’ve spent more time on the girl IF I had something to mirror! I may have to try this again, assuming I can find the right picture. The neat thing about this mural drawing is once I get the person drawn I can put any drawing I want in the background, anything. Ahhh, the possibilities!
I was contemplating putting some grass sprouts and weeds along the bottom of the mural….you know to look like the setting is outdoors…..But I didn’t think I could pull it off, because I drew and filled in the drawing first. Maybe next time.

@Dawn- Those are great mural pics....I've added a few to my favorites, too!! Thanks for the links :) Where were you 3 days ago??? LOL!!
Wonderful to see this coming together! The contrast between the vivid colours and the black and white on the one hand and the size of the figure and the bird on the other really make this picture.
Wow! This is soo good! Makes me want to break out my pens and do some doodling. B.
This is amazing, love the colors.
I love the various designs on the bird. The contrast between the intricacy of the bird and the simple rainbow squares is very striking!
