This is the little guy I sketched in the weeeeeeee hours of the morning. I know it's a meno thing, but I wake up at odd hours and can't get back to sleep. Of course about 1 pm my neck can barely hold my tired head up but I muddle through. haha
My hope is to try shrink this down and make small prints onto fabric, stuff and embellish a little to make ornaments. I'm hoping to personalize them for some of the little ones this year.
Off to bed.....4:15 comes too early. I pray I can hold off until 5:15 tomorrow. That extra hour will help :)
G'nite,
Darla

Darla this is amazing! It almost looks like 3D or something, not like a painting. Even his buttons and the ornament he is holding are shiny.
I hope you are able to sleep through the night. I'm off to bed myself.

I wish I could stay up at night ~ I'd get so much done! I need more hours in the day, and that's a way to get some... hmmm...
love the snowman, I have the same problem, I dont draw I read, trying to tire myself out.
OH, I adore snowmen and the snowman in your painting is soooooo adorable! Lovely work, Darla!
I only wish I could stay up until the wee hours.....but, alas, my body clock seems set on early nights and early wake-ups.
Amazing! The shading is absolutely wonderful. If I could do anything half this well I wouldn't minde being up at "all hours"!

Don;t forget the "pause" in menopause..get some REST woman!!
Darla he is cute!!! Is it watercolor?
Thank you all so much! I appreciate your comments more than you know♥
Keni, I used acrylics but in some areas (background) just very watered down and I pre-wet the paper first also. Use a watercolor technique of applying salt while the paint was damp :)
