SOC: Week-2

This week's SOC-13 was quite a challenge for me.Pink is not so much my color. Even though I love seeing it on other's art I rarely use it on mine.
But thanks Kristin, for the opportunity to play with these colors that I ended up making two pages:)

At first I created a simple page using stencils and hand made stamps.Please click on the pictures to see better. I love the colors popping out of the white page.
On washi tape I wrote, "Sometimes SIMPLICITY is all that Matters."

But somehow I didn't feel fully  content with this page. I'd wanted to do a portrait but was not sure how it will turn out. I was afraid that it won't be good enough to post, so I kept on postponing that idea.
But yesterday night I thought, at the most what will happen if my drawing doesn't do well? Nothing, absolutely nothing. Then why not try what my heart wants? I'll have fun and if it doesn't turn out well fine, but I can be happy that I at least tried. And thus this pretty lady was created.

"If you never try, you'll never know."

 She may not be perfect but I love her, her blushing face, her orange hair and all the little "diamonds" that she is proudly wearing:)

I'm glad that I followed my heart and went ahead and created her. I think it's so much fun to create portraits in unreal shades and I'm going to try creating more such faces in different colors.

 You can go here to see more stunning works by other artists. I'm also linking this page to PPF and Julie Balzer's  Art Journal Everyday 

Thank you all for your encouragement and kind words. I love reading each and everyone of them and please do continue supporting me and my art.
