This was the first thing that came to mind when I thought of "Island"...and it was fun to illustrate today as it is raining here...and I needed some sunshine....
Hey, nice work on the girl's mood! Thanks for your comments, I will be looking for a book publisher interested I what I'm doing, although I still don't know where to start, as I have not much previous experience.
You have just cheered an otherwise gray and rainy day with this piece. I can almost picture myself along with this lovely in Hawaii...okay, minus the grass skirt and bikini top. I'll leave those for her because she wears them so well.
I liked that 'stitching,' too. When I clicked on the pic for a closer look, it took me to a different illustration (down the beach, where the kids are playing).
Lovely Diana! I love islands! Especially tropical ones! Great image that get you in a holiday mood. I can see the sea and palmtrees from my window here, tomorrow I will go back to my island (I live on a island in the south of Holland) where autumn will be waiting....... Love >M<
I see I am not alone in liking how you rendered the sun! I think it's because the sun is a bit elusive to the pen in its brightness... beautifully done Diana!
I hope you enjoyed your visit here and look forward to hearing from you. Your comments and feedback are greatly appreciated. You can also check out more of my work on my web site....
