Redbubbleartparty

Redbubble are running a little competition on instagram, so I thought I'd join in.
I browsed for photos that people were submitting to the challenge with the idea an artist would come along and transform / develop their image.
Here's the original photo and my finished piece as a repeated pattern and as the pattern template - well, most of it. I removed some of the pattern edge to make copying it more tricky.

Photography vs drawing

Inspired by some images I stumbled upon, I have played around with mixing photography and drawing. Here is my first attempt - what do you think?

Sleep

My 6 year old daughter sleeping at her grandparents.

I was learning to look for longer than than I was drawing by now and a style is emerging.

More practice needed to get the features in proportion but we're getting there.

First Post

This is my 'KatharinesCreations' logo. My daughter when just a few months old the photo was edited with very basic 'posterisation'. Some posts will be drawings, some photos - others will be examples of cards or other crafts. Some things I do for myself, for the gratification of creating something, other things I have made for gifts or for sale. As far as possible I will put a date of when each item was created.
