Sunglass Saturday

Yea, Yea, I know it’s not Saturday…but I started this drawing on Saturday, so that qualifies! 

Above, is the inspiration picture for this drawing.  Found on pinterest, but the website [here], doesn’t take you to the artist.  So I don’t know who to give credit to for this. 



Contour drew everyone in….and embellished where I could.



My favorite combination:  Markers and watercolor.  Markers for the skin and the rest watercolor.



Just tried to make the colors sloppy….and swirly. I wanted some white space to show thru.



Added a winter hat to the guy (he turned out to be my favorite in this), and made the lady on the left give the Louisville sign.



Soon, I got to the details….the fun and flowery details.  What really makes this work is when I keep things loose.  Meaning……keep some circles open, let the lines overlap.



Had to do something with those mouths!! They were huge!  I opted out of drawing lips…lips are Hard!  I went in and made all the mouths gray.  Well, big mistake… everyone looked half-dead.  So then, I went over the gray and gave everyone white teeth.  Teeth so white it would make any dentist proud!



Just fun!!  I love how the blue lady looks like Janis Joplin…..too funny

This bird has Style…

Hazel the Hairstylist……She knows everything about everyone and is willing to share it. Talk about multi-tasking, this gal can carry on a conversation with you (the customer), her co-worker, text her kids, cut, comb and blow dry your hair without missing a beat. She’s amazingly versatile! She unknowingly has given you two gifts as you leave her shoppe. The first is a Great Haircut, and the second less obvious gift is you realize your problems really aren’t all that bad.

I’ve missed my little birds, what can I say? Haven’t done one in almost two months. Now, I must tell you that my Hairstylist is not like this at all, well maybe a little…..just kidding!! But there are times when I get my hair cut and I really don’t want to talk about my life, their lives or anyone elses…..sorry! But their social beings, so they’re always asking questions and have a way of getting us to open up.

The yellow-orange-brown swiggles on the right is supposed to be……the customer’s hair. Don’t know if I pulled it off, but doing it with markers limits the colors of the hair strands. I really hope it doesn’ t look like Medusa. That’s a scary thought!

Had to fight the urge to doodle up Hazel’s jacket and black pants….But I wanted her to have some class so I controlled myself! However, if you guys think I should add more patterns let me know, and I’ll see if I can come up with an interesting doodle design for her clothes.
