My dad was wonderful! Even though he only had brothers growing up, he still took the time to do girly things with me (because he knew I liked them) like playing with dolls and DANCING! I loved twirling around in dresses with him and having him catch me from on top of the couch.
I wanted to draw a different ethnicity here and tried to make them look hispanic, but I'm not sure how well I pulled it off (based on my husband's opinion). I LOVE black hair, but I don't like painting it nearly as much as I love reds and browns (and even blonds) since I can't put in the variations of colors that I like. Do you have any suggestions about painting black hair?

your father is so sweet and fun! and, i too dont do black hair often but when i did i dont use just one color (black), i prefer to use many layers of different (dark) colors so it would have more interesting values. :)
Angel--great image! Fun. I always mix my black color--I mix dark greens, reds, & sometimes blues into the mix to create a rich black that reflects lights. You've done a great job & they do look Hispanic.
This is so rich and sweet! The color is just fantastic. It's wonderful the idea of daddy and daughter dancing. Wonderful! I love anything that is multicultural as well and I think you pulled this off with charm and grace! Very nicely done.
I certainly think that you pulled this illo off extremely well, the colors are wonderful, the postures are dynamic and the expressions are thoughtful. I like the way you have highlighted the hair... something I usually struggle with. My suggestion would be to add other colors to the black in the hair to make it pop a little bit more... even if it were a touch of blue or purple, it would tie in more of the colors that you have used in this illustration.
Fun illustration. Thanks for sharing.
Really great piece. You've done a super job with ethnicity, and the movement is wonderful!
Great illo :o)
it's amazing illo! you had a fantastic daddy!
I agree, I think you got the ethnicity just right and created a lovely, touching illustration of a little girl and her dad.
I usually don't do black hair... I guess I tend to gravitate towards browns, but whenever I do use black I do it also by mixing dark colors. blues and browns, mostly...
Lovely illo! I am always impressed by people who can draw people so well. Great colours, too.
This is so lovely and full of fun and feels like a picture from a very lovely story! Beautiful colors and wonderful characters - I love this!
