Marion age 10
Inspired By: Last Friday's strip "The Womanly Art of Shapeshifting" Part 10. It featured a little flashback of Marion in 1967 trying (and failing) to permanently shapeshift her ears. So, I wanted to further explore what Marion might have looked like back then. She was tomboyish and strong-willed (not unlike Andrea), so I wanted to give her a look that wasn't too girly, but not too butch either. ^^
What I Used: Just pencils and a sketchbook.
The Artist's Best Friend: Bing.com image search and Flickr really helped me to find specific examples of the clothing and hairstyles worn by children back in '67. I love Flickr especially because of the old family photos-- they give the truest *picture* of what life looked like back then.
Well, that's it. In the future, we hope to present more of Marion's childhood in the comic; either through flashbacks or from Marion's own telling (or in strips!). See ya on Friday for the final installment of "The Womanly Art of Shapeshifting"! Bye-ya!
