The Girl with Ruby Pink Walls

Character Art from Inktober Sketches

This girl spoke to me from my Inktober sketches and begged me to paint her. I combined the two sketches you see on the left to create the final character I painted. She wants to go on an adventure like the girl and dog in my Balloon Lift Off series, which you see posters of on her wall. Her ruby pink walls were inspired by last week's colour_collective prompt. I painted most of this on my iPad Pro with Procreate, and finished it in Photoshop since the iPad was required elsewhere.

I had originally titled this, Running Away, but I'm not so sure she's running away versus running TO an adventure.

What do you think?


Her pen and ink counterpart in my Inktober series is on an adventure now. I'll be sharing my first week's drawings soon of Around the World in 31 days with Georgia and her Dragon, Swift, so be sure to check back.

Thanks ever so much for stopping by!

  1. She looks the way I feel sometimes... I love the background looking sunken as a testament to her mood, too.

    1. Thanks Mirka! I know I feel like this right now. I'd love to have a high-flying balloon adventure / vacation.
