Gemini

Third astrological sign in the zodiac. Gemini is represented by twins. I had the pose decided on before I even reached this sign but I was debating exactly what kind of approach I should take. I somehow settled on Gothic Lolita children. *laughs* My brother said it reminds him of something from The Shining, although I have not seen that movie. The symbol is on their cheeks.

After drawing this, I decided I was never drawing curly hair ever again. *laughs* It was incredibly time consuming and I had the hardest time trying to find references. A lot of it was improvised. But thankfully I shocked everyone with the detail in the hair. Because I spent so much time on the hair, I slacked off when it came to the clothing. But the focal point is their faces so the curls draw your eyes there. To set them apart, I made one of the twins have more narrowed eyes than the other. I have to admit it was enjoyable although the lines were a pain.
