I started this drawing a long time ago after an evening of putting curlers in my hair and my daughter's hair. We felt like twins and it was fun. I imagined how it must have looked to an onlooker and it seemed like such a sweet moment. I am submitting it as this week's entry for Illustration Friday's theme of "Mirror". It was a good opportunity to practice with colored pencils, which I love. Unfortunately, because I had never planned to scan this picture, it turns out it is too big for my scanner and I had to photograph it. I did not have the best lighting so the colors are a little dim. But, I really like the drawing. I think it tells a story of the closeness between a mom and daughter, as well as the fascination of a child, discovering her own beauty in a private moment.Thanks for checking out my work. I'd love for you to leave a comment!
