  As previously with my season girls I drew the design I wanted including all things Halloween. After sketching my Halloween girl I simply coloured her in using Promarkers, her skin coloured was achieved by using the Spectrum Noir Illustrator pens. I used a black STABILO point 88 fine 0.4 pen for outlining and a white POSCA pen for highlighting. I personally love the colour purple in her hair and the different ranges of grey that make up the background and her hat. The bright orange and yellow moon give the spooky feel to the picture.

This is now my last season which is summer. After sketching my Summer girl I simply coloured her in using Promarkers, her skin coloured was achieved by using the Spectrum Noir Illustrator pens. I used a black STABILO point 88 fine 0.4 pen for outlining and a white POSCA pen for highlighting. I love the vibrant colours of the butterflies, my finally season completed.

I sketched my spring girl and whilst looking for inspiration to add features relating to spring I came across a bird shaped tree, I feel it really adds to the whole picture. After sketching my Spring girl I simply coloured her in using Promarkers, her skin coloured was achieved by using the Spectrum Noir Illustrator pens. I used a black STABILO point 88 fine 0.4 pen for outlining and a white POSCA pen for highlighting. My Spring girl completed.

As I my previous blog I sketched out my winter girl this time adding as much detail relating to winter. After sketching my Winter girl I simply coloured her in using Promarkers, her skin coloured was achieved by using the Spectrum Noir Illustrator pens. I used a black STABILO point 88 fine 0.4 pen for outlining and a white POSCA pen for highlighting. My completed Winter girl.

I decided to create an art journal so I could sketch and improve my drawing skills. I love Autumn and being inspired by Tamara Laporte and her Facebook page Willowing I decided to draw an Autumn girl. After sketching my Autumn girl I simply coloured her in using Promarkers, her skin coloured was achieved by using the Spectrum Noir Illustrator pens. I used a black STABILO point 88 fine 0.4 pen for outlining and a white POSCA pen for highlighting. After finishing her it inspired me to complete the other three seasons.
