You have already seen the very beginning of this... is it a drawing or a painting? not sure.
.
But then I decided to put some molding paste over the top, forgetting that molding paste isn't completely transparent.
She looks like she is underwater, or behind a fog. All the clear drawing is faded.
I wanted a darker background, some texture. I also went in and redrew most of her, and some of the bees.
Is this an improvement? I wanted it less sweet, I think that is happening.
A mysterious shape appeared in the background. Vaguely threatening (I hope.)
I think I will leave it a while.
What do you think?

I really like this Zom, but I don't feel threatened by it at all, now if there were scorpions on the ground, that would creep me out!!
She is a child full of inquisitive grace...I love the new background and she has a real charm here. You have done a great job!!! Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart
Well, *I* find it threatening, but I find children terrifying, so I'm not much help.
I meant to add that I love it, threatening or not, and I think the bees are perfect.
I really like this, I like the mix of a sweet little girl surrounded by bees and scary stuff ... or should I say I like the feeling of Awww-ohhh my! LOL ... it causes more then one feeling, and THAT is what I like. :)
Caterina, well you know I have a good reference for that...
Mary Helen, thank you so much.
Rice, you have made me guffaw. She is terrifying isn't she?
Julie I am so glad that is how you read it. :)
Thanks everyone, you have made me feel I am going in the right direction and given me courage to continue. Hopefully I can get a better photo when she is finished.
The bees are a great symbol. Happy Leap DAy, sus
This reminds me of the painterly app on my ipad, except you are doing it for real! Very nice, I love this look :)
Pencil on wood sounds very intriguing. I never thought about that. Zom very nice artwork & I like the texture you added to the background too. All great artist take chances.
