It's Still February...

... and I'm posting for a second time in a month! I actually kept my word (see post below)! I'm not gonna lie, I'm quite proud of this fact right now.

Alrite, so, the wonderfully fantastic Bill Presing has been quite the inspiration to me ever since I discovered his blog and got his book.. so I thought the best way to break in the new watercolour brush pen thingie set I got was to do some girlies in his style. Here are some quick little ditties I painted up today on 4" x 6" watercolour paper. They were kinda fun, so I might do more, and obviously try to get better at it...

I like the one on the furthest to the right the most. It's the most succesful because it's the most fluid and I like the face on it. DON'T CUT OFF THE FEET YOU LAZY BUM! haha the image is so much stronger when the whole figure is there! I know they're just sketches though. You definately make me want to try this... I love Bill Presing too.
