Lisa’s Birthday/Drawing a Girl
I’ve always had difficulty drawing girls. I don’t think this is an uncommon affliction among male cartoonists, either. I don’t know what it is about them, either; every time I try, I get the age wrong, or they end up looking drugged-out or something. Until time came to draw a picture for Lisa’s birthday card, anyway.
My friend Lisa is a rather distinctive-looking girl - straight, black hair, slim, gap-toothed smile, and she always dresses in shades of grey, black and white.
I think the caricature I’ve developed of her (it’s the second time I’ve drawn Lisa on a card) is the only successful one of a girl I’ve ever done.
