this week's illustration friday theme was 'mischief'. For this I decided to depict a little girl who had raided her mother's make-up drawer which I myself used to do when I was younger. I thought this was a sweet innocent way to use the word mischief as the word itself seems more delicate than something say like 'villainous'.
i decided to keep the colours fairly simple. I wanted the focus to be on the fact that the child doesn't know how to use the lipstick so it's all over her face, so by not colouring in her face I think the red of the lipstick stands out more. I chose a pastel background so that the figure itself also stood out and I think it goes well with the theme of innocence and playfulness.
