This week’s art was inspired by
DOLL BONES by Holly Black |Â Goodreads
So I’ve had this little painting going for months. I figured giving you a sneak peek of it might give me the kick in the pants I need to finish it. If you guys don’t know already I LOVE dolls. I collect them and my sister Richelle makes them professionally.
You can see lots more of my daily doodles over on my instagram! Remember if you decide to participate via Twitter or Instagram please use #FanArtUp so we can all checkout your doodles!
So link up folks we want to see your art!

Someday my friend I will actually start painting again and join you. I think a couple of my old landscapes are still on facebook, I could recycle them someday.
Creepy dolls are not quite clowns, but still a bit scary.

Yes I love creepy dolls – and now – I’ll have to do a creepy clown soon just because you mentioned them.

Bam! I remembered to doodle and linked it up first 😀 I’m loving the painting in progress, though I might have to hide if those eyes don’t get filled in *ducks*
Anya recently posted…Awesome Adult Sci-fi Giveaway! {US/CAN}
Tabitha (Pabkins)
Those eyes are totally NOT going to get filled in – at least I don’t plan to haha I just want to make them black orbs and try to give them depth some how…I’m still very mediocre at this though so we’ll see how it turns out

What a great idea to paint on wood! 🙂

Yeah I’ve seen quite a few artists do it. And these wood plaques are so much cheaper then canvas

Loving the wind-up key on her back, very retro and cool. And is that…a tiny creature trapped inside a bowl?!
Danya @ Fine Print recently posted…Tough Traveling: Saving the World
Tabitha (Not Yet Read)
Yes, you saw the little guy trapped in the ball! I don’t know yet how I’m going to manage painting it.

This is delightful and creepy at the same time! I love that she looks like she is a wind-up doll (key in back?) and those eyes …

Yes I love the wind up key! I wish I could have made it look more like a key though. But I couldn’t get it to look right.

I must admit that I think I like your interpretation more than the original art work. Well done! I can’t wait to see the finished painting. 🙂

Tabitha (Pabkins)
Thanks Carmel! I love the original but you know I’m TERRIBLE at doing ringlet type curls and honestly blond dolls ehhh I’ve seen enough of them. I prefer the dark haired dolls LOL maybe cause I have dark hair. Hopefully I’ll finish this coming week. It will go fast once I crack to it.
shhhh I have a Maleficent type one that’s almost done for next week’s Fan Art

Micheline @ Lunar Rainbows Reviews
So I still need to read Dollbones – it’s been on my wishlist for ages, but from the reviews I’ve read and the synopsis, you seem to have perfectly captured the essence with your drawing! It’s the perfect combination of cute + creepy ♥ I’m so envious of people with drawing skills xD Thanks for sharing ^^
