She's Mine
I stayed up late the other night and just decided to start drawing a face. I didn't have anything specific in mind and I think for the first time I wasn't looking at someone else's drawing of a face as I was doing this. I have been trying to find "my face" the one that feels like it is mine when I draw it and not just a copy of someone else's work. Tonight I think I found her. She is on a post card I made up because she was going to be part of an art swap I am doing but after looking at her for a few minutes there is no way I am letting her go. All I can think of is "she's mine". That may not make sense to anyone reading it the way it does to me but anyway...

I think it totally makes sense. You found a style, a look, an approach that is YOU - that feels right. Of course you want to keep it, it's a treasure. I love this drawing, it's beautiful and has a ton of personality!
she's beautiful! i love that she looks like a girl from the 30s. i completely understand your pride and your connection with her - i think you should hang her up on your inspiration board!
