I was inspired by International Women's Week. I'm a children's illustrator and so wanted to make something empowering for girls. I was also thinking about what I'd buy for my nieces or like them to see in shops. I wanted a restricted colour palette so I looked for on on Pinterest.

This was my mood board and initial sketches. The reference pictures for the second and third girl I forgot to save!

This is my finial mini collection

For some reason the colours aren't showing true to colour here but thats something I would fix if this was a real job. Overall I'm quite happy with it. I pretty much only allowed myself a day to work on it so rushed sketches and didn't play around as much as I would have liked if this were real portfolio/client work.

To make it better I would:

- make more thorough and refined full sketches.

- add another more busy and less uniform print

- add colour in the background
