Happy 4th of July!

Er... I mean I know it's the 2nd, but I drew a picture so I have to put it up today. =P

This is also me trying to do the themes posted on the Girls Drawing Girls blog so that maybe I can get in on their blog next year... at least it's good to have the exercises to keep going. The new theme is circus girls, but it seems a lot of the artists get really busy during the summer with conventions and don't really do the themes... but anyway it is still fun!

I wanted to play with a simpler technique, brushing quickly the color, highlights, and shadows instead of drawing from an outline and then coloring in. I like it!
