I Love Hair

Can't you tell? OK, so like, this is very exciting for me because this drawing...well, it just came out really well. You always imagine how your finished product will appear, but it never seems to be exactly right. At least, not for me. until this. Laurie ('everything in blue blogger' & Esty shop OUOU totally rules go there and you won't know what to buy first!) told me that i should just post what i'm working on. The trouble with that was that i haven't been drawing, at all. i mean, little doodles here and there, but nothing that i considered good enough to share.
Then i went sifting through some photos i like to look at, and i began to go over the same pose over and over and then i decided i needed to make Sachi look bad ass once more...she's been such a cream puff since she turned happy! When she was first born, she was a crazy,drug addled mess with a mostly serious demeanor, but then She started to turn her life around and her hallucinations faded and she started to always appear smiling and laughing! the nerve! k. So i make up characters and story lines much like a comic book writer might, except i never finish them, i have a nasty habit of just drawing the exciting bits. we'll call them"spots". So these "spots" had been the bane of my existence until i realized that maybe they could stand on their own and people could assume story lines...you know, like post cards or greeting cards? Yeah, well, When i went to Japan, i saw my dreams realized through many, many others. Kaori Wakamatsu (see Graffiti Bunny link) is responsible for making me see (or remember) that absolutely beautiful comic art can be used with no words or just one phrase and be just that, just a beautiful piece of artwork. So i want to do that. i want to make beautiful lines make beautiful faces and hair and clothing.
So this is Sachi, she's the heroine in my as yet unfinished comic 'JAPANIC'. And this is her first appearance online. But she's not nervous. So please, please stare at her! I hope to make many more 'spots'. but maybe with paint involved too. Sachi and her friends are very colorful, but black and white will have to do for now, so please enjoy!
