Illustration Friday – Lush

My trip to the hairdressers is never wasted time. Armed with my boredom-buster; my small sketchbook, I scanned the salon for opportunity for a sketch for this week’s Illustration Friday theme lush. The moment I sat down I spotted my concept; a lush head of hair on a manikin’s head. The apprentice was about to de-lush the woman’s head anchored onto the bench beside me. In my child-freindly version, I sketched a child’s onto the head. I must say, Jess did a nifty hairdo on the manikin at the end.

I colored the sketch today as I was catching up on all the latest election news (we go to the polls this weekend). The joy of sketching made it somewhat more palatable listening.
