Hello again!

I just thought I would post how my story is coming along and some of the new characters I have created for it.   This is only the first draft so it is far from done but I would love to know what you think of it.  Thanks for the inspiration!

I had so much fun creating this character!  I have never done one before but you made it so simple.  This little cowgirl is my daughter Sadie when she was about 6 but she is also me.  I was born a cowgirl and I wished on every single candle on every single cake that I could have a horse.  My wish didn't come true so I bought one for Sadie and she became a world champion before it was all over.  Somewhere along the line I started riding and today I own and show cutting horses.  I created this character because I want to illustrate a book for little girls called "This Ain't my First Rodeo".  Creating this character made me believe that I can really do it!

I still have a few issues that I am kind of stuck on. The hands don't look right to me and the one on her hip isn't really holding the rope.  Also, I don't like the teeth.  Any suggestions?  I also still need to work on the presentation but I have some ideas for that and I will work on it tomorrow. 

Thanks so much - this is the best thing I have ever created!!!

Hello Again!

As you can see, I have made some progress on this little cowgirl and on her story.  I refined the hair and the hands but I am still working on those flat boots.  I have also created her brother, Dally and her older sister Hannah.

I would love to send you the story outline but I'm not sure if this is the place for that.  Should I send you an email or just copy and paste it here?  I'm really excited to hear your comments!

Thanks so much for the inspiration,

Ellie
