"Why wear your heart on your sleeve, when you can have a flower on your head?"
"Why wear your heart on your sleeve, when you can have a flower on your head?"
This was a random phrase that popped into my head, and I drew a thumbnail.

That's it, really.

After I started working on the piece, I realized that there's more to this piece than I thought. A few days before formally finishing this piece, I woke up and already knew it was going to be a bad day. I went to school wearing all grays and blacks.

I tend to dress my mood. I'll search my closet for the most colorful outfits when I can feel a good day coming, and dress in dull colors on bad days. It's only obvious if you've met me, but it's more obvious than even wearing a flower on my head.

A crop of the finished piece! It's smaller than all of my other pieces besides my mini-series, being nine by eleven inches (9''x11''), I think. I need to officially measure it.
The thumbnail I sketched out, which I kind of think might have been an interesting layout for this piece, even though I think its composition is decent with what I changed it to.
Cropped WIP! I was in the middle of adding pen.
There were originally five around the center subject, but it felt unbalanced. I added the one at the bottom after I had left this piece untouched for months.
The Process
The Process
It started as a simple pencil sketch, and I left it untouched for a few months.
I eventually came back to the piece and started to outline things in pen!
I decided to leave the outer portions un-inked to put emphasis on the color! I also ended up leaving some of the pencil, since the sketchy lines didn't take away from anything.
Is that... a sideways WIP? Sure, why not?
