Description I was randomly sketching when I came up with this picture.

I was going for 50s pin up gal at the beach. I tried to play around with creating flow and a good composition. 

I thought she could warm up anyone who's freezing due to winter.  

Let me know what ya'll think! Do you like it? Do you like the composition?

I saw all this color in my imbox like NO WAY he was not kidding about jumping right into color! Haha! I love the enthusiasm from you and I really like the way you composed this piece. The striped swimsuit is adorable.

lol yeah. I knew the second I got a new tablet, I'd be all over it and I wasn't kidding.  

I truly did want to start getting more color in my gallery, but I hated my older tablet with a burning passion. There were so many things wrong with it and I really needed an upgrade. 

I'm really glad you like this picture. I love doing these minimalist pictures with pops of color. I'm a huge fan of pops of colors and that can be seen through my bedroom (which has a red wall) my clothing (I love a nice sweater with some colorful jeans) and even my art like you see here.   

I'm not one to spend hours upon hours on a realistic rendering of a picture. I'd rather spend my time creating and developing artwork with simple yet interesting compositions.

Thanks! I'm glad you do. 

This minimalist style is definitely here to stay.

I'm not someone who likes spending hours upon hours on a realistic rendering. I prefer to just have fun playing around with shapes and working simplistically.

I love this pastel brush I have in a brush set I bought. 

I randomly started sketching something and it turned into this.
