It got cold again. Not that I would know; I didn’t actually set foot outside my house today... I drew the line at staying in my pajamas after 2 o’clock, and traded in my sweats for a pair of skinny jeans and the closest available pair of rather festive socks:
I believe I have fallen in love with pastels. For yet another day, I am using them to add dimension to my staple (pen and ink). Today’s word threw me; there are so many possibilities for this word, but I decided to go with a rather sweet and simple take on it.
dir-ty adj. Not clean; grimy; indecent; obscene; mean; despicable; lacking in brightness or clarity; relating to excessive radioactive fallout. v. To become or make soiled.
Looking for inspiration, I came across a song I hadn’t heard in a while...
I really like their style-that kind of goofy, energetic, crazy sound. Although I may be entirely misinterpreting it, I drew from this song, especially the chorus: “Do you really want to hold my dirty hand?” I liked the idea of a cute little character being more than a little in love. Judging by the insistence in her eyes, it may be unrequited...
I started with the girl, added a big heart behind her, and colored it and her cheeks in with pastel.
I’d added a few lines at her feet and coming up to add “dirtiness”, but used the black and gray pastels to add more to it.
I then added a little yellow to give it an even more childishly grubby feel. Ah, what a sweet thing.
I hope you enjoyed today’s piece! Have a great night and stay warm!
