Day 25 - Jasmin

[vilakins]

Since I already did two of Ashley by herself, today's naarmamo drawing is Jasmin.

Jasmin



Yes, her ears really are that big. :-)

My NaArMaMo 2009 Gallery is here.

I actually said "Awww!" out loud! What an adorable, wide-eyed pose!

OK, now I have that out of my system, a closer look at the art. As ever, I love the way you make a simple-looking drawing say so much about its subject. "Just" a few lines and some shading: it's magic :)

Thanks! I have to say that Jasmin's a much easier subject than Ashley. :-)

She's very interested in something out of the picture. You are amazing, I wish I could get such life into my work with just a few lines and the right colours.

Jasmin's fascinated by everything. She leaps onto tables, the washing machine, my computer desk, to see what I'm doing. Oh and in front of the TV so she obscures part of the screen. :-P

A tip: always add a spot of white to eyes, to match where the light is coming from, to get them to look real. It makes a huge difference and adds life. :-)

Her face is wonderful, so full of character. Getting the eyes in the right place can be really hard and you've got it spot on. That's a winner !

Thank you! :-D

Your comment reminded me of a little German boy who told me that God was very clever because he left holes in cats' fur right where their eyes were. :-)

Oh, I love this--just precious! You do such "feeling" pieces.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I think I caught Jasmin's alert expression.

[ultrapsychobrat.livejournal.com]

Very much so.

Oh...this face, this expression...I do know Jasmin from you photos and I know that you have her in your heart. The picture is warm, lovely and loving. Beautiful colours but the most beautiful is the spirit... Mňau!

Thank you! I do think it's captured her expression and personality: always ready for action. :-)

Aww she is such a sweetie!

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

She is! I love how she runs to me when I come home. :-)

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

That is such a sweet, hopeful expression :)

"Play with me! Notice me! I know I'm cute." :-) And she's right.

[astrogirl2.livejournal.com]

So very, very cute!

(Yes, I am here now, kinda-sorta catching up on my flist. Slowly. :))

She often looks like that too. "Do you want to play a game?" ;-)
