Hana


As promised, here is Hana.
I was getting bored with regular, plain people, and she's such a crazy character, I figured her painting should reflect that. Note yellow half-jumper (I don't know its technical term...) Blue spotted shirt, and coloured under layers to her hair...
Hana is a descendant of Merlin, and skilled with magic, along with her cousin, Ian. They are the two in charge of the group, as second in command(s). She is argumentative and serious, but also kind and bubbly. She's weird, basically...


Painting her was fun, because she is different from the rest. all of the others have just been wearing plain clothes, but Hana's add to her personality. It made  me feel very free, painting the small dots onto her shirt sleeves and collar, something childish. Perhaps we all need that hint of childishness every once in a while...
Her under layers of her hair caused me some strife. Following with the childish theme, I was too impatient to wait for them to dry, so all of the colours began to bleed into each other... It was good when I was able to paint the black of her hair on, as it covers the worst of it... In that way, black is very forgiving, but in another circumstance, that would've been  seen as a bad thing....
Hana was fun. I think she's one of my favourite characters, overall.


"Kate gazed at the older girl. Her essence oozed control but her demeanour was calm.  Kate noted how some of the under layers of her hair were tinged pink, blue and green, hinting to a more daring nature."

  1. I think she's one of my favourites so far too! I like her outfit! and anyone a bit weird is interesting to me. I love painting dots too, it's so theraputic when you get in the zone! :)

  2. Thank you, I'm glad you like her. It was a lot of fun :) Plus, she's quite a serious character, I figured she'd need an outlet for creativity.. and what better way than in appearance?
    I could paint dots all day, I reckon... It's almost Mind-numbing, very relaxing...
