Sitting here, chilling to Kings of Leon while working on my third drawing this year (while eating the most important meal of the day; chocolate. Nom, nom, nom!). It’s also number three on my new little project that I intend to focus on the upcoming couple of months. Not going to get into details yet, but this one’s fun, fun, fun, as it’s a portrait of Shirley Temple as a child. Now, for all of you newbies that haven’t been around much (just trying to sound old and wise, but I’m not old enough to have been around during Temple’s big era either…just go with it) – Shirley Temple became a very famous childhood actress way back in the 1930′s at only 4 years old. When I was little (think 80′s/early 90′s, people) I would always watch her in the movie “Heidi“, so that’s how I was introduced to this little girl. Though I’m not too familiar with her work, I’m actually more fmiliar to her as am iconic figure, especially in the states.
Anyway, been working on this drawing for about an hour now and I’m currently trying to make her lovely curls justice and I just can’t help but think about that TLC pageant show; “Toddlers & Tiaras”, coz this kid looks like she could’ve been one of those spoiled brats on the show. But now I’m totally going out of the loop with this Temple drawing topic, so gonna hush-hush now and go on with the drawing.
