I cannot remember when, why and how I have drawn her. I guess it was when I discovered that closed lines are not always the best thing when it comes to drawing eyes, nose and mouth. The brain does a great job! (At least mine!).
I do remember, however, that I loved that pose.
This one has an interesting story (well, a story I remember of). In 2003, Mom and Dad came back from the USA (East coast) and brought me back a book about Japanese drawings (nobody knows what they will bring me when they go to Spain). The book is Tezuka School of Animation Vol. 1 Learning the Basics. The trick of the head based upon a circle in borrowed from this book. The science fiction outfit may be related to another activity of mine, as I was deeply involved in the writing of a 500 pages story...
