Hey all!  I have been staring at this bright cherry tree for some time.  Did it really quick, alla prima.  It's kinda a good background.  Then, while leafing through a mag. I ran across an add of a girl swinging from a rope.  I have drawn her in over my cherry tree lightly in pencil.

Here, I have given her arms and feet, a head and will fine tune later.  Now for her dress:

I'm starting to like this.  I love fabric with all of it's folds, and I love the shadows of white fabrics.

Let's give her something to hold on to, K?

and something for her feet, too.

Her gnarly swinging branch is shaping up too.  I also lightened up the tree in the background, to make it look farther away.  It was too harsh before.  I'll post an update on her next week, since I won't be getting to her until Friday.
