Day 7 of the 366 Daily Sketch Challenge

Funny story -

I sketched this self portrait 
while looking in the mirror. 

Here is my simple line sketch 


Then I added watercolours
without looking at the mirror and,

like magic, 

this sultry vixen appeared instead of me! 

So much for the self portrait. hehe


I do like how she turned out though. 
I'd like to think that there is a hint of me in there somewhere.
The ear, perhaps? hehe

    1. Thanks, Jen. Yes, I also think the slick, dark hair adds to the sultry look. :)
