Dee Dee of Dum Dum Girls
Tired now, and it was an awful day at work today so I played around with that ink drawing in my sketchbook of Dee Dee. Thanks for that circle of roses idea Jen.
Was that my idea?

Ink Sketch - Lana Del Rey
I woke up this morning really wanting to draw something. I was still in a silly dreamy mood and spent around 45 minutes on this inky sketch of Lana Del Rey, (I must find the source of the wonderful photograph I used for reference), before I ran to work and got there in the nick of time. I’m enjoying how people are finding it so difficult to define her.
This is amazing. Holy Shit.
