This week's Illustration Friday topic is LOST - once again I am cutting it as close as possible posting my picture merely a few hours before the next topic is announced.
The other day a certain young man in this family had to write "I will feed my lizard in the morning." 50 times. When he finished he left the finished paper on the counter by a pen - with all kinds of empty space on the back just begging for some doodling. I was thinking about all the things I needed to do that day and used the ballpoint pen to quickly sketch some girls which inspired the caption -
"She doodles girls while LOST in thought."
Anyhoo - after I was done I made a copy on the inkjet printer. I layered old dictionary paper in my art journal covered with a thin layer of gesso and then tried to do a transfer with Golden Soft Gel. It worked!! I was so tickled - I've watched Donna Downey do this technique so many times on her Inspiration Wednesday videos but had never braved it myself - easy!!
Got some letters from my box purchased during an excursion with Kim and then colored one girl with
hues inspired by the current Play Date Cafe Challenge.

Really like the doodle faces and lines. Love the contrast of the coloured one and your transfer...stunning. :)
Love the group of girls with only one colored in--Nice!
You must find such relaxation in just doodling. Your beauties are so peaceful, and I love that you've given one of them the pastels of our color story! So stunning! Thanks so much for playing along with us this week at The Play Date Cafe!
What a fab project! When I doodle people I have a girl that I do with plaits!! Love how you've done the background too, so fun! Thank you so much for joining in the fun with us this week over at The Play Date Cafe!
