Feb 17 African Bwa lady



I'm enjoying making these swirly curly backgrounds. First i painted the cs with Lumieres purple, blue and yellow. I recently found a tiny .25 version of the Spirograph. I used to love playing with it when my kids had it when they were small. I guess i'm the one who wore it out! oh how i loved watching that pendulum swing! Anyhow i used this little plastic version in a couple of spots. Its not quite the same old fun; i'd rather draw freehand.
The lady is a Bwa hybrid compiled of a few different parts of other people and some made up. As well, her head is upside down. Her umbrella is built in. Isnt that a good idea?!
