I love to try and capture that side of girls that is totally mindless and silly. I like trying to make them seem unaware that they look dopey, too. Maybe it doesn't sound like it, but I really mean "mindless" in a good way. Since I'm a girl, that retarded, doofy side of female behavior is more appealing to me than the sexy, mysterious side that translates so well into drawings.
Here are some drawings out of a Delia's catalogue, a great reference for goofy cute girls!
Even girls in Playboys can be retarded! Another great reference: vintage Playboys.
I also like to imagine that most the girls I draw are about as complex as hamsters... friendly, oblivious, without worries besides the desire for a handful of seeds or a bed made out of tissue. I think I would get along with the girls I draw!
And here's one of my favorite subjects! Guess who!
Hip hip hooray, for retarded-cute!
