I've been working on some new illustrations and thought I would share one of them. This little "pretty please" gal started out as a pencil sketch that I later drew with pen and ink. I then colored the image with markers (I usually watercolor my illustrations), scanned the colored image and created this little digital version.
What do you think ... do you like her? Would you like to see her as a Whipper Snapper rubber stamp!? (I know I would!)
Mom, does she remind you of anyone?

Super-Adorable :) How sweet are her pig tails and leggings?!?

It's love at first sight with me and your "pretty please" girl! If she becomes a stamp, she's coming to my house to live. Hurry, hurry, little girl! Her pantaloons/leggings are adorable!

Yes, I would love this darling girl in a stamp. Your coloring reminds me of my Raggedy Ann doll. So sweet. Thanks!

absolutely agree with everyone! cute and more of her for sure :)

Ditto the above. I'd love a series. I especially like the shape of her face - not the longer girl faces that seem over-countrified. I'd also love props that go with her - like a pie, or cookies, or a book and separate sentiments. Also, I'd love to see her in overalls and boots. I have all girls but one is more 'overalls' than 'dresses'. The stamp is a sweetheart - keep 'em coming!

I really like the idea of a series of her. One with a little chicken in her arms would be a good start. She looks spunky and fun, just like you.

Oh yes, you absolutely HAVE to make her into a stamp! She is adorable! And of course, she is a young Anna...I'm certain your Mom will verify that!!! :D I LOVE HER!

Anna, I LOVEEEEE HER!!! And I agree with Kittie...we need a whole series!

Love her!!! Make her into rubbah and I think she would fly off the shelves! :0)

Oh Anna, this little girl is absolutely YOU. I want to see variations of this little girl with accessories such as little pets or a cooking theme. I would definitely purchase the set if you decide to make one.

She is so cute! I agree with the idea to make a series of her.
And I LOVED reading your dad's comment. Ü

Very sweet, and reminds me of me as a kid,lol
Yes, get busy, she would make a lovely stamp.
Posted by: Sally | February 18, 2010 at 04:36 AM
I think she is darling, Anna! How about doing a whole series of her???
Posted by: Kittie Caracciolo | February 18, 2010 at 02:24 AM
she does look very, very familiar! of course you need to make a stamp out of her
Posted by: liz | February 18, 2010 at 12:19 AM
Yup, It does remind us of someone we know. At that age the hair was a bit shorter and if she was smiling she would be missing a couple of teeth. The curtsy threw us off for a second tho.......... Love, Dad

So this is what you've been up to! :) You capture the sentiment so well in the drawing, you don't even need the "pretty please!" Nice job.

Posted by: Kim Howard | February 17, 2010 at 07:26 PM
