More Lily-inspired pics

These are some more pictures from the book that I'm making. Most of these come from photos, which in A'level fine art I was told was not the 'done thing', but sod it.

Lily has been loads of fun to draw. I have done sketches of her - mostly when she's asleep - but for a lot of these I have used photos as a guide. I don't draw the photos exactly as I'm rubbish at that and it takes the fun out of it. I also think what's the point of making a painting which looks like a photo - well unless your Chuck Close - and I think you capture something being a bit less precise - not sure what though :os

Lily is very good at having her photo taken :o)

This last one is the last page of the book. It's a very messy sort of book I'm not a tidy person and I think it sort of reflects Lily as well who utterly enjoys mess.

My Muse

Have spent the last couple of months working on a book for Lily, where I have done loads of watercolour pictures of her (over 20) and then scrapbooked them.

These are some rough copies so far and not the end result, mostly because I decided to work on A3 so she would have an A4 book at the end of it. A3 is imposible to scan so I'll try and take pictures to show you end result, because - for once - I am quite proud of it.

My biggest problem now is getting the photocopies and making it into a boardbook for her and it HAS to be a board book as she will destroy it otherwise the little scamp :o)
