Girl Scout Cookies














It's spring and the Girl Scouts are out in full uniform with their tempting boxes of cookies. I picked up some thin mints and sketched before I ate. Two versions: acrylic and Pigma Micron line drawing. Which do you like?

Great job on the cellophane. I haven't seen any GS cookies around here yet. You're making me hungry for them.

I love the line drawing but in this case, I think the coloured cookies look tastier.

Goodness, you definitely conveyed the shine on the plastic in both versions. I love the acrylic, because it's simply stunning. :-)

omigosh! That cellophane wrapper in the acrylic version is fab. Tranparents and glass are my big nemesis - I am cowardly about practising them!!! Jules
