Meppol - for providing me with lovely photography to style this after, and an adorable subject and respective reference!
This piece was created for Meppol of DeviantArt as a prize for winning second place in the What Makes You Smile? contest. Please visit her Deviant Art Page and check out her photography. Check out her Winning Entry! Many of her photographs were used both for style reference, color reference, and reference for the cute little lady as well!
Oh boy… where to start?
This piece was a really difficult one for me. I am not at all accustomed to drawing or painting children, so it was really frazzling me.
I ended up using as many references as I could from *meppol’s gallery. I also wanted to give it the feeling I get and like most from her artwork, so I based it (a bit too heavily, I am ashamed to admit) on her piece, Imagine.
That was the piece that really spoke to me when I was looking at her gallery, so I really wanted to capture that feeling and send it right back at her, in my own ‘words’ so to speak.
I hope it will do ^_^
