Dear lounge, I present: yvr girl

[billyskank]

She asked me to draw her, and I considered it an honour. So I tried a more ambitious effort than the usual post-it note portrait. Anyway, as I found with Sugar Smack, the post-it note does not lend itself so well to a pencil drawing. In the image I worked from, her hair was covered by a crown of flowers, which I did not include in the drawing. In the only other photo I have seen of her, the gallery shot, her hair is tied back, but in the photo I worked from it is clearly not. Consequently I had to improvise a hair style for her!



I hope you like it, yvr girl. :loveya:
