Card #8

Little Red
Little Red was a colorful experiment in several areas.  I wanted to use the frame a little bit to tell a story and crop for effect.  I like the bold red colors and the pink fringe.  She is holding the basket kind of weird, because it may have been an after thought.  One area I struggle with is people...I never want to eliminate their peach-ness colored skin and find I will shade in the entire picture, masterfully rendered from darkest dark to bright white, but fail to do any color variation on the skin, especially if the character is a girl.  So, that's why she looks that way.  Recognizing I have a problem is the first step to moving forward.  Today, we take that step together!
