Acrylic on Canvas, acrylic inks, felt tips, this piece is a little bit of a change from my usual portrait work, I have been making a more pop art surreal feel to my work slightly going back towards the pop posters of the 60s using lots of wild colours to add to hair creating an almost psychedelic feel to the overall art piece.

There are absolutely no elements to this picture that don't refe

I am used to drawing pets and people, I haven't had any commissions for a while so decided to draw something different. This drawing was inspired by an amazing artist named cj Hendry. I just loved the shine she gets with her colour pencils. I used prismacolors to create mine on claire fontaine pastel mat. I really enjoyed it.
