I love painting whimsical girls, and I love giving them colorful hair. Don’t you think their bright blue hair looks exciting? I almost I wish I could color my hair robin blue! *laughs*
On this spread, I was experimenting with face structure and with using black. Believe it or not, black used to (and sometimes still does) scare the bajeezus out of me! It can easily overwhelm a page and make it seem dark and depressing. But used like this in small quantities to frame the page, and with pops of color added on, I think it looks quite nice, don’t you?
Like these whimsical sisters? You can buy art and canvas prints, notebooks, laptop skins, and more featuring them in my Cupick store. I’ll be adding more stuff on there regularly, so do follow me there for updates!

Absolutely beautiful and as u said the blue hairs, lovely even i love their eyes such emotions it arouse.
Thank you Shalini! Getting expressions in the eyes is hard – I’m never sure if I’ve succeeded, so thanks for telling me that I have! 🙂
Beautiful artwork, MG 🙂 I liked the colors. Wondering what color the hair will be for the next sibling artwork.
