Pretend – IF *
Close your eyes and pretend | soft pastel + collage on Moleskine
Close your eyes and pretend; you can be a princess, a mermaid, a fairy, anything at all. Close your eyes and pretend; you can be anywhere, on a bed of roses, in a field of grass, anywhere at all.
Illustration Friday‘s challenge this week is to draw ‘Pretend’. The drawing above was done in soft pastel (chalk) and the detailing part like hair was done using soft pastel pencil. I added some dried leaves and petals to make it look dreamy.
My moleskine: 40 pages left to draw.

Hi Kak Emila.
I so in love with this piece of pretend.
Her expression…she is so indulge in pretending….
Her hair so soft, beautiful, shinny, curly, attractive, charming….lagi sexy…..peaceful….contented…..wishful thinking…positive…Yeah, with all the positives stuff.
I guess everyone of us like to pretend to be someone at a time. However, it’s good to day dream for a while, it’s to refresh our mind as to challenge ourselves to a greater height.
I pretend to be superwoman, a mermaid sometimes, a spy, a listener, an audience…..but must put in heart…then bolehlah jadi:)
Again, Kak Emila, I salute you for you are a great artist that truly pictured the emotions of our ladies. Letting us enjoy those happy moments again and again.
A big thank you to you Emila:)
