Finding Eleanor . . .

Eleanor is the main character of the text that was provided to us, by Zoe Tucker. We had three options of text and "Pet Problems" was the story that I fell in love with (I'll probably go back and work with the other 2 options too though!) Anyway, this story reminds me of my boys and I enjoy exploring human characters and animals (both included in the story). I drew so many little girls before I THINK I found little Eleanor (most of them not even pictured). Rough pencil drawings, that turned into colored pencil drawings, lots of time spent playing with hair. I am going to try Eleanor with a couple of different outfits and use watercolor (my normal go-to) and again in maybe just black ink. We shall see how she evolves by the end of the 5 weeks.

*At least I have a handful of Eleanor's friends on standby if I ever need them . . .ha!
