IF:: Layer

lay·er

noun \ˈlā-ər, ˈler\

one thickness, course, or fold laid or lying over or under another

I had so many ideas about layers and how I'd like to use this idea to make a painting, and I have a sketch of it, but I think I'd rather wait and take a bit more time for that one. So, instead I made a simple sketch of our friend Susan who was just visiting and has these amazing vibrant red dreads that are thick and layered, and she herself is a mutli-layered being.

(what the heck is "IF"? check it out at illustrationfriday!)

Beautiful image! I love the softness and delicate color. What's funny is I'm in the process of a "Dread" series and also used that theme this week! Great minds think alike!

I love the softness of the face here. Really tender.

I love the softness and the cropping. Really nice!

If just her hair was showing it could resemble sweet potato fries! Now I'm hungry.

I had a billion ideas about this topic too, and didn't feel like I could do it justice in the amount of time I had. I look forward to seeing your painting. This one is really fun!
