Drawing the Girls...with Martha Lever.

Here is my first attempt.... hair seemed to be the hardest part for me...  must look at some styles .. and practice, practice, of course... haven't done any eyes for ages....  since I did my dolls ... they'll be a bit tricky for a bit too... but, these are just fun gals... done on graph paper as you can see.  

The graph is to get a feel for the positioning of eyes nose and mouth and to more or less get things in proportion....  although, they are not supposed to be anatomically correct.... they are just fun.... still looks a bit like an alien.... 

..... I'm back... with my second attempt... and I like her...

I fiddled less with the eyes and used much lighter pencil strokes in the beginning.... although, now that I see her in a photo... I may just add a bit more depth to her eyes....

And... I might just leave the hair like that... my own little idiosyncrasy or style or whatever.... seeing as I don't really have a way to colour it how I want.... yet, anyway.  I may come up with something later .... . what fun just drawing the girls...
