Gesso girl

This week, I brought out played with a background that I had done a while back I touched it up a bit them drew and gessoed the girl and her hair onto it.

Now it was time to color in the white.  I  used my black stabilo pencil to draw the outline back on and activated it with a bit of water. I love  these stablio pencils. Sometimes I like to just leave it with no color and use the stabilo for the shading, but this one, I only lightly used water so it wouldn`t shade too much.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   1

Just added a bit of color and some simple flowers and I called her done.
