Inspiration to implementation

The other week I wanted to create something fun and a bit different- no plants, no flowers, no animals. wha?! I found this vase at Goodwill about a year ago and decided to use it as my jumping off point...

How sweet is that face?! From here I made sketches...

then I chose 5 of them and took brush and acrylic ink to paper...

So these are fine and cute and all- but they're all white- and people come in more colors than just white, so I scanned into the compy and with the help of photoshop and my pen/tablet turned them into...

So there you have it- not sure what I'm going to do with these guys yet, but I hope you enjoyed a little glimpse into my start to finish process!
