Now in COLOR! Sort of.

I came up with the idea of adding color to this because I figured, rightly, that this would make it easier for the viewer to see the two faces separately (also:drama!).

For this one, I just thought that the bubble had to be pink, then decided to do the girl's hair as well.
These were drawn, as usual, in pencil, then I did the details in color pencil.  I still have a huge much-loved set of aquarelle pencils that I used all the time when I first bought them... in middle school.  They have been rather neglected in the intervening years, and I think I should use them more.  Also, the creamy background color is the actual color of the paper in my sketchbook.  I'm now thinking about scanning all of my sketches, even the ones in plain ol' pencil, as color files.
