Plait Illustration

Its been a while since  I sat down and put pen to paper.. I mean its been months! I had a day to myself for the first time in a long time and I decided to illustrate plaits (braids for my american readers!). I have been wanting to illustrate a piece like this for a long time so I was really happy with the way it turned out. Especially as I felt a bit rusty!

I am so glad I had a break from illustrating, as I was getting to a point where I didn't feel inspired but I think that has now changed. I have a few more hair inspired pieces to illustrate, so I am sure you will see them some point soon.

I want to start pushing my illustrations a lot more, and what with moving to a new town, which their seems to be quite an underground art scene, I want to try and get involved more! I just need to be brave and have more confidence in what I do, and this might be the start.
