Manic Pixie Dream Girl

All 10 Minute Sketches

Film critic, Nathan Rabin, coined the term Manic Pixie Dream Girl to describe a certain female character in films who encourages you to embrace life and it's infinite mysteries. While drawing Dayna the model yesterday for Joe Denaro's class, all I could think about was that illusive character, whoever she is, and the word pixie. Thus, this blog post came into fruition.

We focused on beauty heads yesterday with the intention of using them for perfume ads. All the sketches were done in ten minutes. I found that when I drew in pencil before brush and ink, I was more pleased with the results. Always learning, always a work in progress. Happy Saturday everyone and enjoy!!
