I started this one like I do most of them, I laid down a line, then another and before I knew it I had a figure... the problem was, I had a head along with an expression, shoulders, arms and torso on an action pose and I had no idea what the action was for or what it would tell.
When my drawings start at random points without an idea to follow first I (and I figure, like most artists) tend to generate a story for whatever I am putting down on paper as I go to help me visualize what they should be doing, interacting with, etc.
In this case I ended up with someone that could be different a fairy, or a mythical creature of sorts that is leaving her home to do her job. In this case, her job ended up being "To hang up the stars". As she leaves she leans over to talk to her house cat and let him know he will be "In charge" while she is out.
Well, that's my story and I am sticking to it.

I also did some random quick doodles of animals for fun.

Tomorrow I am planning on sharing a project that is different from the doodles I have done so far, hopefully I can get some painting done between tonight and tomorrow to get it looking halfway decent. Of course I will also have my daily doodle ready.

Any chance one of us could get one of these doodles?
I love that this incredible fantasy creature is making the same very human gesture that I do when I leave the house.
She's beautiful and so very real to me. Looking through your drawings, they all feel real. There's a soul in them.
These are all so great! Love checking in with you every day now that I found you thanks to Jen. You should check out Chet Phillips blog chetart.com. He has different artists that he highlights. I get a lot of inspiration from his posts and now enjoy yours!
I love how you've captured her in mid sentence, and the expression on the cat's face.
I love the "hang the stars" drawing. Beautiful.
I also love the hummingbirds. :)
Have you ever thought of selling your artwork?
I LOVE llamas. I'm also very interested in the girl who hangs stars. I think you should 'write' more about her. :)
