Of the three observers...well, EVERYBODY isn't a critic, but it sure is easier to do that than the repair work...the situation seems familiar. On the other hand, the little girl whose dolls I believe are getting fixed seems to have plenty of confidence in the process.
It just kills me how you can come up with so many great illustrations! I can draw, but I can't think of things to draw. You just have a wonderful imagination. I'm watching you, too, my friend. :-)
OK- that little doll head with the tread where the eye came off and the stubble hair- that's awesome. Can I just say great story telling, character and appeal. I also like the illo just below this one too. Thanks for the comments! No sleep for me today (kids soccer game this morning, visit from Granddad this afternoon and then a big halloween costume party tonight at our house. All good stuff :) Keep up awesome work...
You are just wonderful Vanessa and I would consider this a self portrait. Lovely details, gestures and expressions on their faces! Superb concept, have a great day and week :)
Ah a superwoman MOM! I know a few of these. Love the expressions on the gals... fun illustration as well. I have missed seeing your work while I was away, it's fun catching up with all you have been up to.
SOOOO sweet, I don't have any sisters and my brothers are pretty easygoing so I guess I'm lucky...But watching my mom with HER sisters, I can imagine this is an amazing talent Shirley has here!! You ROCK!
Thanks so much for taking time out of your busy life to leave a comment. Please feel free to leave something funny, constructive or encouraging. Thanks again.
