Manga Artist

Yesmin's latest art obsession is the Manga style. She recently took a cartooning class through the rec center with a instructor who is also a Manga fan! She learn a lot from him and for 7 weeks in a row, we could see improvement. She's on the waiting list for the next session...in the mean time, we bought a couple of Christopher Hart's reference books for her, and we also found some different copies in the local library :)

My Little (or not so little anymore) Artist

A drawing by Yesmin back in July, it reminds me a little bit of Picasso's style...

She's also getting very good at paper cutting. Just by using my scrap papers, cut, cut, cut, snip, snip, snip, and a whole lot of tiny paper on the floor...this is what she created...

Note that the girl is holding a fan on her hand, partially covering her face. She's also wearing a belt with a flower buckle, and the cuff on her pants are made with pattern papers!
