Have you ever had a dream where you are falling and you can actually feel yourself falling? It happened to me the other night. The feeling was so real that when I woke up it took me some time to realize I'm in my bed and not floating in the air, haha! So that's how I came up with "Falling". It's a pretty simple illustration that would've taken me no more than 10 minutes, if it wasn't for the hair details. I've just got this thing about hair, you know...
ohh i have had those dreams way to many times...
ReplyDeletehey also, i love your illustrations do you sell any art?
I always have falling dreams! Then I wake up suddenly in a panic!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful illustration! I love it :)
i haven't had one of those dreams in a while..i really don't like them...so creepy! the last time i had one i was actually hanging off the side of the bed!
ReplyDeletethis is another great piece! i love the shape of her body and again you did a great job with the hair! it would look great in a colorful frame ;D
xo,

Oh, it's beautiful! :) Well, the illustration - not the falling sensation...lol. Whenever I have those, I'm usually *actually* falling off my bed!
ReplyDeleteLily I have had those dreams. I hate them! You've captured the feeling very well in this piece!
ReplyDeletePlease don't take offense to what I'm going to say...because I do love your art. If you ever sell any of your pieces I would be interested in buying one or two (if I can afford said piece) but I would ask one thing and one thing only, cover-ups. Now before everyone gets all broygus (Yiddish for bent out of shape) I truly do love your work, but because of the kind of people who are connected with my husband and HIS work, there would be offense taken at nudes, even artistically done nudes (and yes some of these people think Michelangelo"David" is tacky). So before I could consider buying I would ask for that one consideration. Whatcha think?
Dear Lily -
ReplyDeleteI'm not offended in any way, actually I'm pretty happy you've brought up the question. That's why i started this blog in the first place - to hear what other people think. "Falling" is an illustration of a dream and a great challenge for me since I'm experimenting a lot lately and trying my best to improve my works. I am not sure i could cover up an already finished piece, but I finish a new illustration almost every week so I asure you you will find many good ones that wouldn't be offensive in any way!
The good news is that I am working on an Etsy shop and soon some of my illustrations will be available as prints and cards :)
xxx,
Lily
i usually fall in my dreams too!
ReplyDeleteit's a very beautiful illustration!
I LOVE that illustration, and of course her hair is awesome!(guess who has a thing for hair too.)

Lovely Illustration Lily. I really love how your work is evolving. Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteLily thank you for not being offended! I know some artists have a slightly different opinion when someone like me asks that kind of question.
ReplyDeleteLet me know when you open that Etsy shop and I'll take a gander. (you can twitter me or let me know on my blog).

This is so beautiful!! The hair is DEFINITELY worth the extra time =) x
ReplyDeleteHow did I miss this one? This is STELLAR yo. I really have a thing for the way you create hair. Too cool. I also have no idea what happened to paper dolls...I remember having books loaded with them.
