I thought I would share a current work in progress. I have found lately that music hasn't been my usual successful source for creative inspiration that is usually is. So I have been forced to seek inspiration from somewhere else (because I seriously have to look for it, it won't come to me!)
I decided to use the English language and think of words that inspire beautiful images. One great website I was told about is The 100 Most Beautiful Words in the English Language
But in the end I found that "snow" and "Poppy" evoked some creative feeling and went with them. And so I've ended up with what you see here. I plan on keeping parts white, and adding blue and peach skin tones/shading. Then making the poppy a orange red...or maybe a pink red, I haven't decided!
On another note, the Whimsy workshop has been going great! We've had awesome feedback from folks and we had a lot more signups than originally planed for! And now everyone is signing up for the Whimsy II workshop! Both workshops are available online, there are really no specific 'class' dates. So anyone can take it and fit it in with their schedule. The vids and workbooks are always avalible :) Click here or on the banner for more inforamtion.

I was curious about the workshop, but since I already have pretty much nailed whimsy on the head, I feel I more need a "how to refine your style" workshop. Plus the NZ exchange rate and my trip to Hawaii both interfered rather!
Hrm, thinking of the "in the style of" swap - would you like to try something in my style? Cos I'd kinda like to attempt to replicate yours!

LOL, yeah, I think you own your own whimsy style at this point!
And sure, I love to attempt your style as well! I really like your bold, controlled line work and bright colors!
Awesomesauce! I shall get onto that as soon as I'm finished up my current outstanding trades. I'm going to draw Kat in your style.
