Twirl is the word.

She didn't care if the park was closing;
Christy wanted to TWIRL all day and night.
I attempted to make this look like a scrapbook page.
I've never scrap-booked but I've seen the aisle at Michael's
and some of those goodies look like fun to play with and layer.
I was really stuck this week.
I only have Wednesdays to work on Illustration Friday and didn't plan well.
I thought spaghetti, twirling hair, batons, and ballerinas.
Then I thought I'd combine them all.
Uh...I really like my "learning Illustrator day".
So when I sat down to sketch my grand plan,
I put my pencil to paper and this ridiculous, horrible little sketch appeared...

Well, at least I had a starting point.
This is for Week 4 of working on our GOALS.
Feels so good.
Plus posting is a great way to be accountable.
Have a fantastic weekend!

this is so powerful ! well done :)
Isn't that funny. When you said Twirl I was thinking about a merry-go-round as something more abstract.
you definately succeeded in the scrap book look you were going for! i love the theme, a nice take on the word twirl!
It is so great to see the sketch develops into a wonderful work! Thank you very much for sharing!!
I like the scrapbook look, and your idea is great. You captured the feeling of twirling, great job.
well done on keeping up with your goals. Nice take on twirl too, i love that ride.
What fun! Great perspective!
Really nice and love the perspective.
I can hear her screaming out 'weeeeeeeeeeeee' as she twirls and whirls... a very good choice of perspective!
Love the colors you used...and the motion of the pigtails is fantastic!
Hey everyone, THANK YOU!
Well done, especially with only Wednesday to devote to it. I find the idea is the most time consuming part of an illustration. Let's hope she didn't eat fairy floss and a dagwood dog before that ride... for her parents sake.
Love the “scrapbook” look!... and the angle! Nice work and great way to kill 2 birds with one post :o)
Very cute drawing! Thanks for leaving a nice comment on my blog.
Fantastic idea and illo! Love the detail of the chains, the bright colours and her expression - half laughing half screaming? I want to go to a fair...
There's a great sense of movement in this one! Love her pigtails flying behind her :)
