Sultry Eyes and Pretty Girls

I finally spent some time watching the Suzi Blue videos I downloaded from her La Petit Dolls online tutorial almost a year ago. Suzi's work is not only uplifting in theme and color choice but I find her to be a down to earth woman with a caring style. She will dare you to release the inner critic and learn to embrace the artist within.


While on a cruise last October, I came across this image included in one of the ship's newsletters. Her eyes are so gorgeous that I simply had to find a way to recreate this look in my pretty girl drawings. Using the techniques presented by Suzi, I set forth to create drawings of pretty girl faces that not only reflected my own style but could be used to replace the vintage images that now appear on my paper dolls.


I believe this drawing captures the look I was going for. Look for more drawings like this to appear both on my paper dolls and on collage sheets for use in your creative works.
