The Girl with the Decorated Hair + Launch of Society6 Page


Decorated Hair Girl Tote Bag by tanyadraws | Society6
The first design I am sharing from my society 6 page! I hope I will have time for updating this page this month.  I really love these tote bags. Fully covered with art is how they should all be!

As I sit here drinking tea (forever nuts from Davids tea.. my new fave!) trying to rid myself of this awful cold I have caught, I decided that this is as good a time as ever to update my blog with my new design. 

I drew this girl last weekend at the cheerleading competition I was working at. This was a fantastic little project for me to work on because once I got the lineart done, filling in the small details of the hair could be done in small parts in between my actual work. I burn on site DVDs, so when I'm waiting for some DVDs to pop out, I can sneak a bit of drawing in. :) I used my sharpie pens (I lost one pen in the making of this drawing) and my lovely staedtler black marker (two sided, has lasted me FOREVER!) to create this image. I love drawing portraits, and colouring the hair in with patterns is something I have wanted to try for a long time. I am pretty happy with how it turned out! 

I am also really excited to have started on Society6! This one will be a challenge to get used to because it has a slightly different dynamic to it than zazzle. Here is my Society6 page! :) 

And here are some of my favourite products that I have put this illustration on from zazzle!


Inked Girl Portrait with Patterned Gradient Hair Poster
The original, for comparisons sake: My drawing in poster format! I don't make many of my drawings available for print on canvas or poster formats, but I felt like this one deserved it.
Inked Girl Portrait with Patterned Gradient Hair Barely There iPhone 6 Case
Barely there iPhone 6 case. I love love love the way this design looks on the electronic cases!  It just goes so nicely.

Inked Girl Portrait with Patterned Gradient Hair Messenger Bags
This awesome laptop bag is surprisingly cool. I angled it differently because it didn't look right in the portrait format I originally had. The way it is now, the girls hair perfectly curves with the bag! I'm glad it turned out the way it did.
Inked Girl Portrait with Patterned Gradient Hair Uncommon Clearlyâ„¢ Deflector iPhone 6 Plus Case
Last but not least, the clearly uncommon iPhone 6 plus case! The apple logo still shines through.  It actually goes pretty well with the design. It looks almost like a hair clip in her hair. XD

See how peaceful she looks? This drawing was my calm in the endless sea of cheerleaders. ;)

New Zazzle Product: Travel Passport Holder

Soooo yesterday I was feeling pretty productive! I wrote the Nuvango post that I wanted to for a while, I created a whole new set of items for my shop and I was settling down to do some reading with my newly made tea. I apparently don't know how to close my tea thermos, because I accidentally knocked it over and the lid flew open and spilt boiling tea all over my leg. Now I am left with giant burn blisters on my leg, which isn't very fun. On the bright side, the burn and ginormous blisters are where my boots will have to go, and since I can't put on boots and its snowing like nuts outside it means I didn't have to go out. So today was all lazing around and trying to let my giant blisters settle. But enough about my leg, with the indoor relaxation came some productivity!

The second new product from Zazzle that I am going to feature is the passport holder! These passport holders fit all standard sized U.S, Canadian, Mexican, Australian and EU passports. They are made from 100% durable recycled paper stock and finished with vinyl to make them extra tough and water resistant. Best of all, this product is hand made in Los Angeles! To show off this exciting new product, I created a Polyvore travel collage. Featured in this collage is my red penguin passport holder, as well as other red items from my shop and other online shops!
