Dandelions for Turtle Magazine

Before this piece I've never drawn a character with such curly hair!

The untamable locks were in part inspired by by 2 year old daughter who's own curly hair is getting bigger and more unruly every day. She always wants me to draw her and so I decided that it was time to man up and figure out how to render crazy long curly hair in my regular style. It took a few attempts to get it right but I'm very pleased with the result. Since it was so fun and I was so pleased with the result all of my characters now have curly hair!

This piece is featured on the back cover of this month's Turtle Magazine. Thanks for the super fun assignment Turtle!
