Sending Postcards

I have been a member of an online post-crossing community for over a year now. It's basically a site that gives you an address of a random person, their description... and you send them a postcard. For every postcard you send, you get one back. So far I have sent 28 postcards and received 31. It has really been amazing so far, I have cards from Russia, China, South Africa, USA ... I have been inactive for about half a year, but started sending postcards again just a couple of days ago. Today I'm sending off these 3. One to China, one to USA and the handmade one to Taiwan. Again drawing Cherry. It seems to me, she is just an infinite source of inspiration and she is really fun to draw.

DAY 28

Update on my sketchbook and more of Cherry. I'm also using the last picture as today's happy moment :)
 1. Just a collage (its a shame that the sharpie bled through and ruined the face.














2. Cherry - word: Hanger (when I'm out of ideas I like to ask my classmates for a word, and then draw inspiration from it, its not always direct and logical, but it helps with getting out of art-blocks)















3.Cherry in a kimono. It is not completely transparent, it just looks like it because of the weird lightning ^^'' - platforms from one of my favourite movies, Memoirs of a Geisha.














4. Drawn during history class, while listening about WW1. Firs I decided to draw something connected to Germany, hence the colours, but later I decided to go more towards Russia, gave a nod to the babushkas (her bustier) and drew her a traditional Russian hat (bottom of the picture).













5. The special thing about this one is, that I coloured the background with fresh orange peels. I wanted it to smell nice. It gave an unexpected light orange colour, but no smell. Oh well experimentation.
















6. This is actually my favourite Cherry outfit. I love the colours and how different fonts from the newspaper worked on the dress. Pockets <3
